Well on my experiment of pinching the stems for bigger buds, it doesn't work. However I did bend a few and got bigger buds on the horizontal branches than I did on the vertical plants but not much..... Conclusion on my experiment... Do this while in veg to get best results and don't wait til the day you put them in flower..... Posted harvest pic's if you want to check them.....

Toukin +rep nice plant
Graff+rep cuz your handing them out
Just food for thought. Say I were to use the super crop method to grow optimal angles for "top stalk". Just like solar panels the leaves run at 100% when they receive direct solar radiation. This is true for every plant on earth and must apply for it my plants. I have an issue with a nosy neighbor and the back yard is not up for grabs (well I sprouted outside and they still remain) I am going to super crop just for the sake of the awesome short fat bush look. I am thinking that I can redirect an efficient amount of sunlight underneath my bay window where it is covered from street and neighbor. Will the bends follow the direction of the light or does the plant have natural instincts to grow vertical? It seems plausible that I can "aim" the chutes in the direction of the reflection. Rebuttal?

Relaxed, i would leave the branch, she might make a recovery. if you dont see improvement in 2-3 days cut it off
Conehead 420, supercropping should be done in mid to late stages of veg, you dont want to be doing it to young seedlings, or with mature females.

supercropping can be done successfully into the 2nd and 3rd week of flowerr from what ive seen and done...it may depend on the strain. HEY FRANCO, WHERE YA BEEN? HOPE ALL IS OKAY

I broke this one almost all the way through and after a couple days with a band aid its supporting itself and the growth past the break is the same as the other top.

breaking the branch is not a big deal at all. i have one thats completelt broken. i took a twist tie and just bandaged it. i have another one thats just destroyed yet still hanging on
heres a pic that shows you how and where to bend. i started when it was 3 weeks old. i start at 3 weeks with all of them and by 2 months they are bushes. huge f-ing bushes. its awsome what it does. the only thing to be careful about is completely snapping off the stem. but even if you do snap it. 3 weeks is young enough youll just be topping it also. i cropp em topp em and tie em down. then i make my girl step on em with her high heels....jk but just short of it though.

So here is a question I can't seem to find an answer for.
For doing this kinda super cropping, does it matter what strain, or type of cannabis it is?
In other words, does an Indica do better than a sativa?
I would like to know because currently I have a Medusa strain on week 2.5 from seed. Medusa is mostly indica.
Also, how far into veg should I wait before attempting this?
Here is a pic incase you need a reference.

That's not a tree. That's a mini forest lolThis plant has so many heads and it looks like a bonsai tree, she is now flowering.
She's in her first week of flower, I haven't counted the heads.
Shes a sturdy girl!
I'm gona try supercropping next crop coz it seems you can save some money on seeds
and half the number of seeds you need each time.
