move the time line to 4:48 if ur not into his channel. (end result 16:04)

 

Id be intersted to discuss this, does anyone already do this? Is this rediculous? will the plant respnse time move quickly enough to resistribute the apical hormones to the lower branches to encourage growth, or will this temporarily stall the canopy allowing the lower braches to catch up, the slower growth, MIGHT mean for a thicker main stem

Just looks like a hillbilly way to bend and strengthen the stems to me "The Shake"

Bending them daily mimics strong winds and breaks fibers in the stems and branches resulting in stronger stems as they heal.

I would rather do the full super crop.

Yeha the fella conciders himself a bito a naturalist so maybe 'the stong winds' sounds plausable..

I agree: Teh full squeeze roll and bend, or if u really want to thinken the trunk just sqeeze and roll and a think knot forms on the mainstem (possibly stronger) than the unbuised stem. If defn slows things down for a while - if ur canopy is running away from you.

Rofl! Certainly a different supercrop meathod :S

It is a little scary how healthy those plants look though... Proof is in the pudding, see what kind of bud is produced at the end.

the next development will be growing in a wind tunnel

Some people come up with some pretty cracked ideas. How they think they've stumbled across the next best thing is beyond me.
