Super Cropping

I personally think you get more yield with LST. when you supercrop the branchs grow really good, but when you LST the lower branchs become the "top" branches if you know what i mean. here look at my plants and they will explain

well it is your $.02

dont you think you could do the same thing when you supercropp... i mean .. just make the bend lower down the branch... look at this threads early pics and youll see what i mean....LOL

Could you pls check my yournal and give advisce, should i supercropp them or not?couple of week ago I tryed to bend some tops and next day, the turned right back up, so I was thinking, that it doesent did nothing.
So, would it be wise to do it, and how far should i bend???

yeah man.. the first few pages talks about why you want to either tie them down or put some wieght on it like my "wieght lifting" plants.

i cant really find another pic representing the weight except for this one that i was doing before i did the major supercrop....



ill go check your thread out though..

Genfranco,
Great thread I read it all the way. I must say I am going to try it looks easy to do. I had a plant break in the wind in a pot prior to reading this page. After finishing I decided to go out and bend a few I think the second time I bent them today they took. Unable to post pics it keeps erroring out.When thye fix this problem i will post hopefully buy then it will be some bends that you like.

thanks +rep

Dude if a branch snaps or the plant splits in half for anyreason, use a good amount of honey and kite string. it's a perfect splint and the honey makes it regrow faster then by it's self.

Howdy all,
I to have 6 lil ladies and am new to the process.
I have experimented with all 6 doing various things. One thing I have done to 1 lady was supercropping, read it in a book before I grew. After watching the results the first 2 weeks..I did it 2x 1 per week I proceded, At first It seemed like I may have hurt it but a few hrs later and the top turned back up an a few days she got mo bushy

I have done it to all of them since with good results For me it seems to make the rest of the plant fill out .......gives them some bu-dunk in the trunk!

Hey "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" - love to know how that plant did - mine are at the same stage and I'm undecided....
I only did it for height. I didn't use this method to increase yeild. I had to many tall plants in the room. They turned out ok but I left a male in the room to long and seeded almost everything.....

I guess i should have explained that when you do this you want to be gentle...


then slowly... while your fingers is on the bend feeling how it gives to you putting pressure with the other hand as you slowly bend her down...


bend.. i mean you allready bent it...



just drinking vodka and finding humor in this, in a good way of course

I accidently Supercropped a plant i was LSTing. Pulled the plant outa a 5 gal pail to change the nutes and missed one of the hooks. I didnt realize what i did until i saw this forum. I actually think it might be better off.

I wanna bend mine because they're too tall as well, but I'm worried that it will *damage* my yield amount at this late stage..?

id' pinch the off shoots you want bulked, or you can just pinch the main stem, but with bigger plants there is more risk or damage from it having to support the whole plant still.
