Plant height is an important factor to manage in order to optimize light exposure and maximize space. One effective method of management is to control the light cycles, as varying the duration of light and dark periods can influence plant growth patterns. For instance, shorter light periods can encourage plants to grow shorter and bushier, while longer periods may promote taller growth.
Implementing pruning techniques can help regulate height and shape. Regularly trimming or pinching back the tops of plants encourages lateral growth, resulting in a more compact and manageable plant structure. Supporting plants with stakes or trellises can also help control height while preventing damage from wind or overcrowding.
