Love the journal Email - great detail. I noticed you supercropped the bigbuds, do you have any tips for doing that right? I was thinking about trying that during my current grow but have never done it before and don't want to screw it up :joint::peace::mrgreen:

welcome aboard! the new "twist" to this grow was the cracking of the stems (did you see that shot of the broken stems - i thought it was pretty cool how it healed into a gigantic ball!)?

this is my first time attempting to supercrop. the reason i wanted to try it is twofold - first - i've always said that if you break a stem it heals just fine so i wanted to put my money where my mouth was and second - i have limited vertical space so wanted to bend the plants to receive more light horizontally.

My advice is to have a plan before doing any breaking. I squeezed the stem about half-dozen times where i wanted the break to be then after softening up the fibers it sort of fell over. i left it where it lay for a day. the next day i tied it where i wanted it to be and have been twisting the stems around the twine i tied up ever since. the light is able to reach everywhere but my PPP plant :( but i'm figuring i can harvest my big bud and let the PPP grow/flower for another month (or maybe more) before it will be ready. but we'll see what happens i guess....

it is strange but there seems to be a few really big growth spurts during a grow but there doesn't seem to be any consistency to it.

What's up email, here to show some love. Man, those fuckers sure did blow up early. What was the purpose of breaking those stems?

Awesome man, yea experimenting is always fun with this plant. I'm going to try a few things on my next grow. I definitely want to see how your plants do after breaking them.
