Super cropping as a form of hight control

they stay kinda bent but yeah the leaves and buds grow towards the light i wish id tied them down now

all the bud sites on the bent stalk are turning to the light so thats prommising(spl). I spoze time will tell as to any effect on the buds themselfs ie bigger and better or same or not as good. Im quite optermistic tho as the plant didnt seem to break its stride, didnt droop or owt.
I dont remember where i found my avatar lol. im happy to change it if ppl dont like it.
It must be a photshop job, seems to make ppl laugh tho.

Next time you'll want to try out a scrog or LST technique, if your not one to go chopping at you plant that is, theyre both great ways to get a tall plant down. Check out the FAQs they got a ton of great height management techniques. and I think supercropping is when you injure the insides of new growths and then let them heal, thus giving you the platform for some nice big BUDS. Check it out in the FAQs, I plan on supercropping when the times comes!!! Don't forget to start that training earlier next time...thats what puts the L in LST.:hump::hump::hump:
 
I saw that pic on www.entensity.net its an awesome site, funny shit updated daily. Ive been seein jesus on every dogs ass around lately. All anyone asks is "Why are you staring at dogs asses??" hahaha.:spew:
 
If your looking to control height to protect them from bring spotted from the ground here is what I always did. Take some hemp rope somewhat thin tie it 1/4 from the top to good firm stem. Find a place on the ground and tie the plant down. Start off small a few inches depending on height of plant,and don't stress the stem too much. After a few days go back and bend a little more till your where you want to be. Taller plants need two ropes and so forth. I used to take 4 foot plants and after a couple weeks have thema foot of the ground.Just my 0.02
 
the buds on this plant are getting nce and fat, i wouldnt say more so or lesss so then the one i left alone. But these ones i bent have like a second top starting next to the top top if u get me ill try and find a pic to show ya
 
heres some better shots what do u think?

It is deff. a good idea, but this process is called LST, there are many posts on it in the advanced growing section of the forums. Doing this makes every budding site more even, and gives you more quality bud. good job discoverign it on your own tho =D
 
im doing something of the same process but doing mine in a spiral up then pulling the top down the middle...just starting to grow but i did this with my catnip plants and some other plants that i grow...just just kind of a neat thing to do and it grows big but stays short if you prune leaves and such....nice twirling viney buddy flower baby! in one of my threads it shows some of my plants as described...kind of a fun thing to do when you have a lot of time on your hands...:-)

There is a theory in supercropping that if you stress the stem at nodes between buds, that the plant will send more energy to that area (and the buds past the stress) to try to fix it.

Supercropping typically involves pinching and twisting the stem below a bud to create minor internal damage to the plant will overcompensate to fix it.

I imagine once the damage is repaired, that the plant goes back to business as usual.

Check out the info in the FAQ and the site regarding supercropping and LST.

Looks like your doing an unintentional hybrid of the two.

And it looks good. :mrgreen:
 
cool well the intention was to stop em smashing the rof off and it worked lol tho they have str8end up loads, spoze its too lat now in the flowering process to do anything else.
