Do what you like but that temperature thing suggested sounds like absolutely terrible advice; you do *not* want to fight the plants own nature, you will lose every time.
I have tried supplemental side lighting, has no effect on stretch whatsoever and just makes for a very hokey arrangement where you try to get more buds on the sides but not burn them etc. Pain in the butt.
Root binding by deliberately growing in a small container does *not* limit height to any meaningful degree in a small space, anyone suggesting it has never really tried it or their results were due to some other factor, I could trot out a lot of pictures of sativas about 5 feet high in a 250ml sized (1 cup) pot. Disregard that advice or try it yourself to see if you have the time.
Limiting feed to just enough and always avoiding too much nitrogen *will* make a big difference, that's your primary thing to dial in and you really really need to get proficient at that. Consider never feeding them "veg" food but only bloom formula food.
Do yourself a favor and learn how to scrog properly and you will be a very happy camper, nothing in my experience and many others compares, it give better yields in small spaces, easier to deal with the plants, more efficient use of lighting etc. It's a pain to learn how to do it properly but very much worth it.
Or do what I did and try every other conceivable method first until you realize you're just fighting the plant's own nature and scrog anyway. Your choice!

A dense canopy of apical dominant single budlets is always much more effective than many sidebranches, with diverse hormonal levels, twisted through a net or screen.
sog it, baby
(just wanted to give another perspective here;-))'Root binding by deliberately growing in a small container does *not* limit height to any meaningful degree in a small space, anyone suggesting it has never really tried it or their results were due to some other factor, I could trot out a lot of pictures of sativas about 5 feet high in a 250ml sized (1 cup) pot.

Im very intrested in those pictures you mentioned!
Im quite sure a strain/pheno reaction to root binding is individual and can not be generalised.
exemplaric, I have Zamaldelicas(Z#1,Z#2) that react strongly to root binding with reduced size, columnar structure and a very fast onset.
which is for sure not the case with this one:

Cannabis likes a lot of space.
Of course you can use a million tricks to keep it short, but then the quality will not be the same. To grow the best bud you need 6ft in height at the very least. That's how it was before we had internet and how professionals still grow today.
If you chose the containersize keep in mind about ~2/3 of the plant grows underground. Or at least in nature.
The bigger the rootmass, the healthier your plant and the higher your yield and vice versa obviously.

Very good sog, I grow the Zamaldelica low stress training.
Putting a NLD in a screen is the worst way to flower it.
Keep us posted on that little sog you got there.
