I had read about supercropping in the growfaq, but he doesn't mention when to do it, when do you guys think is best?

Also, how hard to you actually apply the pressure? Do they always droop immediately after applying the pressure or does it take some time? Gave a few tries so far, but no drooping but was afraid to give too much pressure because I could already feel the inner stem collapse and could feel moisture from the stem breaking in between my fingers.

Thanks!

Good question dude, i wish i knew the answer! as id also like to know, iv heard lots of good things about this method, hope some replies!!!

not sure if i'm doing it the same as the FAQ's, but i kinda do a suppercropping method, i started when they were bout 1' tall, then bend the main branch over, i make them as horizontal as i can, do it as much as possible then let it sit for a day, then pull it down bit more each day, i had good luck sofar, only broke one main branch, and it got taped up and is still growing good. and on a note, the younger the plant and the greener it's stems the eacier to bend it will be. a little bit of trial and error is needed, with patence.

I appreciate your response, but I believe what you're doing is LST. What i'm talking about is more where you take your main branches and pinch them with your fingertips until you basically crush the insides of the branch. Then after some time it grows back even stronger and apparently makes them even stronger thus producing bigger buds.

This is the link to the growfaq in which I was talking about, close to the middle in bold text where it says "I supercrop to increase yields"

I'm mainly curious when you're supposed to, or if you can simply do it whenever earlier enough to give it time to heal.

Thanks!

supercroping can be done at 12" and up

Was also kinda curious how many of the stems per plant I can do it to? Can I hit every main branch in the bush at the same time? Or should I do sections at a time?

Thanks!

that depends on the strain.... some work good with training, topping or FIM'n, but some don't.... here's a link i use for those thoughts Marijuana Strain Library - AK-47
it has a huge veriaty of strains and lotza info

Yeah, I've been considering trying out ak47.

Nobody else supercrops?
