Remaking this thread since last thread got some good and bad feed back want to get some feedback on another theory of mines you can agree or disagree any input is wanted.


Idk maybe just of a lil theory of mines after reading alot about weed plants and going through my first grow is that to get the best smokable weed with the best taste, flavor, and power you have to stress your plant. Whether it be LST or super cropping, like they say and I have experienced, that weed plants are Hardy and bounce back quick. From lst to increase yeild aslo topping, FIM. Even splitting of the stem to increase tichromes and the amount of darkness and temperatures of water. So to me a weed plant produces the best stuff in the plant like THC understress because she is protecting herself and possible future seeds(but we make sure that don't happen ) which makes the plant produces the good stuff we like to smoke. Like right now my plant is in like week 3 of flowering, no topping, but I still bend , pull down branches, even accidently split my main stem in half like two inches from tied down branches, and my baby is still going strong looking good showed no slow down in growth after stem split. So to my point I think the more stress you give your plant in the right way the better your harvest. If you let your plant grow natrually then your plant has nothing to fight off, nothing to repair, no seeds to overprotect, which willproduce way less good stuff to smoke.

I love salads in hot weather.... makes me not feel like I do now after eating copious amount of tri tip. I actually barked one side of it to much while in the cure thread helping out. It was actually really good. The extra bark went good with the mid rare inside. I always have a bit of bark on my Tip...hehe

But I may set my tri tip on fire on purpose next time.

Works for me, recovery time is crucial though. I give my girls 2 weeks stress free before flowering. TOTALLY stress free, everything perfect.
A while back, I was growing 2 SLH x Bubbas, 1 plant I didnt do much to but the other I was a bit rougher with. Pic attached.
First training method I tried was LST with wires, I wound the stem around half the pot, had almost no effect on the plant as far as stress goes.
Second method, plant on the left I topped/pinched every single branch, after this, I let the plant recover for a couple of days.
Third training method I tried was an extremely gentle "super cropping", bending and training the plant to be wider. I didnt bend them a little every day for X weeks, I did it in all within in a couple of hours. I spent about 10-15 minutes per branch whilst listening to an audiobook (bore me to death otherwise) bending it wider and wider, trying hard not to actually crack or knuckle ANY part of the branches. I would bend a branch after softening it up and hold it there for a minute, and when I let go it wouldnt move much because the entire branch is slightly sagging from being softened, but not limp and needing support from being cracked or knuckled.
After that, I left them alone for 2 weeks before flipping. No issues whatsoever. Increased yield. Cant speak numbers for potency but they were stronger. No seeds. No balls. No hermies. The one I trained, on the left, had an extremely even canopy which is probably what caused its success more than anything, it basicly looked like it was in a trelis net. The buds were only a little smaller, but twice as many, and they were rock solid whereas the other buds were lighter. I now top all my plants.

Thing I am trying now is actual knuckling and bending. Will take pics when the lights come on.
