Will my plant be fine?

Here's what I used to do to keep them small when I grew outdoors in the Mojave desert: Get a big cardboard box and cover it in the evening so that it starts the 12/12 cycle(make sure you time it right). It worked great for me so that I wouldnt have a huge 8 foot monster. You could also plant later in the year so that it doesnt have much time to veg. Dont forget topping and tieing down too. Lots of ways to keep em short.

 

"small" and "short" are 2 different things. You can do some major lst and topping and grow a monstrous,....LOW....bush.waist high, 4' round, no problem.

A 1 gallon pot is trouble no matter what you want to do. Once flowering begins, it will be root bound within a week, 2 tops.

The earlier you transplant, the better.

If you get more specific with your wants, I can help you some more, Bong Reaper is right, lots of ways to make them do what you want.

 

Check out LBH's LST guide for sure, hes the LST king. Awesome stuff. Make ya some hooks out of some extra wire hangers and your golden

 

Yeah keeping it in a pot thats to small wont just stop it from growing taller, it will stop it from growing period. As in tiny buds....

 

Small pots = small buds. If you want to keep plants small, you have to LST.

 

Pot size does not matter. Its the room around the pot. LSTing is just bending over the branches. That way, it keeps it short, and gives under growth/small branches way more light, thus making them turn into main branches. So it will end up being a little bush.

 

Well. You need a 15+ gallon pot. Just for root room. And, You can just tie the branches down with strings tied to bricks or rocks, ETC. As long as it holds the branch down.

 

15 gallon pot?!?!? Do they even make pots that big?

 

Yes? Maybe you don't need 15 gallons. But, at least 7 gallon pots.

 

What do you expect to do? Grow a plant in a pot sized for a seedling? If you want a small plant, it's either LST or genetics. Grow some low ryders.
