Hello all,

Im sure that some of you have wondered why would anyone do such a thing to a plant as supercropping..

what is?

Suppercropping is done to marijuana plants in order to produce the macimum amount of "tops" on a plant. side buds that would normally grow up the stock will now grow up and turn into its own top.

There are tons of pictures on the subject mostly in books...

So i figured i would post some of mine.

Here are some pics i just took showing the results.













As you can see this is a very effective way to get additional tops if you cannot plant SOG style with 40 plants.... this limits the number of plants needed to cover your grow area and provides great results.

In my case i do it due to the laws ristricting me to 6 plants. I will soon be doing this to all my plants about a week before i flower.

Ill update this thread with budding results.

Good luck all

How to supercrop?

I guess i should have posted how to do it..

first your gonna decide how far down you want the bend at...

when you have chosen where the plant will get bent at then do the following:

Pinch slowly until you notice you weakend it... turn fingers and pinch again.
*note: DOnt pinch soo much that your fingers touch.. meaning dont squish it flat... there is a tube inside the stem that you donot want to mess up. So pinch soft... pinch and try to bend...if it doesnt want to bend easily...pinch alittle harder and do it again... once you waekend it enough you can put a weight of some soart at the end...or tie it down... becuase these plants will recoop and bend that shit back.... after a week or so the bend will be set and strong and wont need the weights anymore... (although i leave them on there for far longer....


good luck man.

I love super cropping, it makes the stems of the plant very sturdy and thick. I have an Arjans Ultra haze plant that is barely 2 feet tall, but it is roughly 5 months old now. This 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!

what about doin this with some monster sized girls.....in dwc ive been thinkin about tryin this out myself maybe ill do it to one of my girls....i veg for 5-7 weeks so what you guys think

You should give it a try, it spreads out the canopy while you veg them. Doesnt matter how many different strains your working with or their age, you can supercrop and end up with an even canopy and very sturdy plants that will support the bud they make. I've personally seen the same strains I am using grown with out super cropping, and mid way through flower the branches couldnt support the buds.
