    Im having some problems with the height that my clones are reaching in my cabinet slash grow area...I was wondering should i weigh the branches down or tie them..or is there another option to minimize height. I super crop but that is only good for making them bushy but they are so strong they turn around in less than a week so height is not really stunted....?????

    Put a net above the plants and weave them in and out of it as they grow.
    Screen of Green (scrog)
    Similar to the sea of green method but the plants are not so crammed together (only 1 or 2 per sq. ft) and are grown a little larger. A net or mesh is stretched across the growing area about 45 cm or so above the top of the growing medium. Plants grow through the net and any that get too tall are bent back under it to promote a flat hedge like growing area. The net also acts as a support and ties are not usually needed allowing easy movement and re-bending of growing shoots as and when needed. Large hole green pea netting available from garden centres is ideal for this. When the plants start to flower let them grow straight up. Scrog Growroom Plan:-

    Take a razor blade and split the tips of the branches and they'll stay low and bush out instead of gaining height.
