I grow squat plants too. Start by TOPing or FIMing, depending on the amount of nodes you want; I've left between 4 and 9 nodes. As for LST, as soon as it is tall enough to bend, you can start.

I've always done mine in week 4 onwards. But that's knowing its a healthy plant. You've got to remember that all of these techniques will stress the plant. So it needs to be healthy enough to recover.

If I buy a cool mist humidifier for my grow room, will it decrease my indoor temp and increase my RH? Also, with a duct fan sucking up the air out of my grow room, how effective will it be? Unless I slow the air flow down. Thanks!

She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.
