lol i actually never told you to cut fan leafs off....fan leafs are the solar panel for the plants energy intake...mustve been a mis understanding i was tryin to tell you what a node was...your supposed to be supercropping....bending the fan leaves so they are out the way for your new growth that comes FROM your nodes....so fan leaves arent to be cut...or how else would the tree collect energy...your plants are big and should be able to take the cuttings but bro never cut your fan leaves unless they are at the bottom and yellowing and obselete and even then i would leave them alone until they fall....if the leaf still has green in it that means the plant is still using it.......

Ehh.. yeah. :|

So, is that it though? I mean are you not going to put them in bigger pots?? I suppose not.. since they're already flowering.

You do realize that Cannabis shrinks during the drying process right? and sometimes a little more during Curing... I'm just really curious as to why you kept them so tiny bro.. just curious is all. Once harvested; dried; and then cured.. your not going to yield very much bud.. :-?

Maybe you don't smoke much.. hell I dunno. Just more curious than anything I suppose.

Peace.. looks great either way. Just small.. :|

i keep em small because of the cab they are in...its a 1k light in there and the flower area is only 11 cu/ft....btw...this cab will pull a pound easy when its loaded with 12 plants...atm im working on some new strains...getting new mothers in place in the bottom part of the cab for a new room im gonna be building...gotsta wait a couple months tho...but have no fear..this cab can produce for its size :) just not running full right now...here is a pic of the whole cab...hard to balance the lights in a picture but you can see the new strains i just cloned downstairs.

once i supercrop them there will be a big difference in their footprint too....basically gonna snap the stem and lay em on their side :)

that is what I want to learn to do, the supercropping, just heard of this yesterday, my plants are big and need to be layied over so they will not reach the top of my cab. I like the way you have yours set up, I may add a bottom to mine for clones later on. I am hopeing to be able to put 8 to 10 plants in mine next crop. I wanted to show a pic of one of the fan leaves i cut, this isnt the biggest one either.100_0777.jpg

supercropping isnt really snapping the stem as much as it is squeezing it till its soft them layin it down....think of it as folding your stem.....kinda like fimming but with a little less love....no spit...all shove :)

alright...since it seems some have a real interest in supercropping i though i would get off my lazy ass and do it...so i did it...took some pics to show yall...supercropping isnt scary...and WILL maximize your yields in a couple of ways...first as i said earlier gives your plant a larger footprint giving it more sites for colas to form...second...when the bend heals in about a day it gets bigger creating a sort of super highway for nutes to travel through your stem...anyway..enough talk...here are the pics...hope they help

Gotchya. Alrighty.. thanks for being cool and not thinking I was bashing you or anything. I hate it when I try and speak my opinion and people react with harsh words and immature thinking.. its annoying to say the least.

But anyhow, still a nice grow either way buddy. Yeah, you could def. pull a good lb or two from that box.. especially using some LST and topping methods. Maybe top each plant twice.. ;) That'll really get your yields higher. Especially when you top a plant twice, plus add a little LST training.. yeah you could def. double if not triple your yields.

In fact, I'm almost done with my current Nirvana grow. First time with the Ice strain.. but now that I know what it likes and disklikes.. once I harvest these two babies in the next 2 weeks or so, which will give them 10 weeks flowering... I'll immediately start germinating the other two feminized 'ice' seeds that I have left from this order.

Not sure as to which strain I'll grow next. Haven't decided yet.. I've been leaning towards TGA Genetics.. but doubt I can afford their prices. They're expensive as a mother fucker. :|

anyhow.. keep up the great work buddy! Enjoy the buds!

peace.
