New Grower lighting number 2

[oneaday]

hi first of all i want to thank everyone for helping me,
i seem to have a problem with the height of my tent and how big my autos get, they get so big that i have to bend them to make sure they go on the side of my light, here is something i picked up on the forums, please tell me if it will work,
can you please read this i got off of the forum, can you tell me if this makes sense to you, this is what i read on a post, will this work, start at 2 ft till 10 days old then , leave it at 1 ft till last 2 wks of flower then I put at 6 inchs. maybe this will help for next time
thank you

Give flower nutes once preflowers show, not sure if it stops vertical growth completely but it certainly would be a smaller in the end than giving veg nutes till week 5. Also could try LST

Did you intend to post a link for us to read? If so, I'm not seeing it. I assume you are referring to how high to set the lights? That will depend on what kind of lighting you are using.

LST is the most effective way to control height. Start them young before they get so large. Smaller pots will also help and switching to bloom nutrients earlier will also slow them down a bit. Also your strain selection. You might be best going with dwarf strains that generally stay in the 15 - 20" range.
