supercroping

[ctown]

hey just wondering if you can pinch a plant and supercrop the same plant? also how long before you can flower it after this is done???? grown indoors as well

Hey man yer nws at all, i pinch snap bend and tie all my plants with great results. I find after i do this i get big knuckle type joints in the plants which just spits branches everywere. Id prolly give em a week recover from pinching n snappin before i put em in flower

Hi there ctown,

I also do a bit of "pinching" but I give them 2 wks regrowth before turning, as for trimming I strip everything from underneath to bare stalk and keep the tops (Where the light is)I do this a week before turning. I hate cleaning the shit underneath and why put goodness into shitty little bud that may give an extra oz or 2, put the goodness into the tops.

 

NEVER EVER pinch or trim after turning. If you do everything turns to shit. DON"T DO IT

 

Just some advice

I have accidently super cropped one of my plants about 4 weeks into flower. Didnt seem to do it any harm at all!

Ended up doing it to another plant as well as it was getting too high...no probs

[IAMTHEMANOHYEAH]

Yeah i do it a week n a half before turning

Hey ctown,I would start training (supercropping)about 2-3 weeks into veg, give them a chance to get some foliage.

I use the Pinch/Bend method right through flower if needed in the canopy top, it is low stress, never had it turn a plant, as with anything, as long as you don't go nuts and stress them too much. I'm with PPG, I get these big Knuckles and whatever seems to grow after it is Nice. Maybe use your Supercropping while in Veg and for cola sites you don't want to chop, pinch and bend them, lay em flat and get more light to them, side on. best of grows to ya. gh72

How long should it take for a knuckle to form?

[The Hash Nibbler]

hey RR, as the plant gets bigger, so will the knuckle. At first it just looks like a kink and slowly gets bigger with time. laters. gh72
