tricks for growing bud

Getting back on track:

Supercropping is a method of destroying the inner substance of the stem leaving the outer skin unharmed. The stem heals quickly, without much stress. By doing this you inhibit auxin flow to the rest of the plant. (Auxin is a hormone secreted by the top of a plant that inhibits cola-like growth of any other calyx.) This will make all your stems produce huge, huge calyxes. Also, because the top is a bit out of the way, lower branches get more light.

CO2 generators rely on yeast to break down sugar into CO2. CO2 is essential for plant growth, since it is the second most important substance in photosynthesis, the first being light (this is why plants don't use CO2 during the night). CO2 is converted thanks to the energy contained in light and absorbed by the plant, into carbohydrates, the energy source of the plant.

So how do you supercrop? Is it by cutting of the bottom two branches

That's very well done, a nice clean supercrop. Expect the branch to straighten out a bit in the next few hours. And don't worry, this will not affect your plant in any negative way. :weed:

I must say another thing as well. Do not get TOO obsessive about your plant. MJ is pretty tough and will take care of its self if you just treat her right. A lot of people make a post if a leaf is barely curling up, if they see a hint of yellow, etc. Just chill and let her do her thing.

I may be a newb at growing, but I've learned to just leave her alone unless she gets really bad. :)
