Short Strains for Small Spaces

Strains whose plant height is listed as short by a breeder or public strain listing. Short, compact plants fit grow tents, closets and balconies, and they are easier to keep under a light without heavy training. Height still depends on how long you veg, the pot size and training such as topping or low-stress training, so plan your space around the listing plus your own method.

Our database lists 143 strains here. Most are indicas (74), followed by hybrids (64) and sativas (5). The lead terpene listed most often among them is myrcene. 118 of them list a flowering time; the most common is 7–9 weeks.
