View attachment 1318619Helro everybody.. by accident i think i have discovered a new way of SC. Although i havent researched to see if anyone is doing this already, I thought i would start a thread and post my pics tomorrow. ................. I have been simply putting clothes pins on the mainstalk under heavily pronounced budsites. THEY are blowing up.. Im doing this to some and not the others in a flood table so its a true side by side. Ill get a photo up tomorrow.

yeah dude, ive been trying for nowish.. got the shots but im thinking unfortunately "2marow".. can't wait huh?. j/k
I wanna see this also as I am a big fan of supercropping. btw....love the pinup avatar.
thanks for the avatar compliment. is that a paul reed smith?? nice gee tar. i shunned SC for the last few years but this urkel has the huge hollow stems perfect for pinchin on.. my clothes pins were holdin up my finishers by a leaf pinned to them lil' green bamboo stakes.. they kinda just ended up doin' there thing...............NONHater stay tuned friend. side by sides are the best.

I have just started doing this. Probably day 4 with the pins. My plants are 3 and a half weeks in flower(with the pins). My pics will show them. I have girls in all stages so ill probably throw up befores of first and second week bloomers as well as 4's and 5's.. ill update with afters. i dont normally like puttin pics on here but i feel this is a proved method..Maybe somethin with the spring tension. .

This is not supercropping. SC'ing is like a low-stress way to top which diffuses the plant's energy to the lower branches until the 'pitched' stalk has healed. Sticking pins though your stems at your stage in flower is just stressing the plant. In general, SC'ing shouldn't be done past the 3rd week in flower because this is usually when the plant is done with it's stretch.

yeah HB if you thought i was doin the nail throught the stalk.. i feel the concern.. and i see this the same as pinching.. but with pinching i get a knuckle and with the clothes pins i get almost a constant swelling that looks like the stem ate a rat snake style.. long knuckle persay.
