its cool, I was just kidding though. That is more of the forum rhetoric hype I disbelieve. If the plant gets damaged, its gonna try to fix itself, flower or not. Plus the first couple weeks of flower the plants are still vegging, and healthy plants like yours probably won't skip a beat with the pruning.

I'm still scared to supercrop.
When your space is limited it's scary taking chances.
My SLH has about 3 or 4 weeks out and I'm gonna try it with her replacement.
Thanks Riddle my courage is building. I think!

Chainseeker, give it a go on a single plant and see how it recovers. Not all strains like being cropped though. I tried it with some Skunk Haze plants, and they all formed huge knots very quickly after being cropped, while TGA's 3rd D, and JTR never recovered from it and actually bled from it.

Once you find a strain that handles stress easily, you'll be happy with supercropping.

If Riddleme is alright with me posting a picture, Ill take a pic of my Skunk Haze mom tonight, that was supercropped for better clone material. It should help put your mind at ease.

Great post thanks Dave.
On a side note JTR is some of the best herb I've had the pleasure of smoking.
I also hear it is tough to clone.
Skunk haze sounds fantastic.

JTR hasn't been difficult to clone ime. I doubt you'd have much problem if you did grow it.

As for Skunk Haze, well Its pretty damned good. Better than my two JTR ladies, but definitely harder to grow. Lanky Sativas that take 90-120 days to flower. My first time growing a Haze hybrid, and well Haze is so dominant in these ladies, Im basically growing pure sativas. If you ever want to challenge yourself, Id say give it a try. If you ever order from Seed Boutique, you can request Sam the Skunkmans Original Haze x Skunk #1 as your freebie. They were better than the seeds I actually paid for.

Thanks Riddle. Ill have it up in probably 5-6 hours when I visit the ladies.

Btw, would you care to tell me what your temps are during lights on w/o IR treatment, and during lights off? Ive got some info to share my buddy gave me that you and your followers would benefit from. This seems like one of the best places to share it with so much traffic in here.

right now (that the 90's are gone) lights on 80, lights off 73~74, heater is set to 78 and on a timer, mostly only comes on in the morning, unless I adjust it

Wow guys (Riddle and Dave) you all really take it to another level.
Most of us never even think about breaking it down as far as you.
You all are valuable to this site they should pay you :)
With all the trash info on here this thread is a breath of fresh air.

Thank you, I came here and saw all the crap info (there was a lot of good info as well) and went on a mission to correct it :)

Tomorrow is my 1 year aniversary here and though I have never counted I think I have helped with at least 50 new growers getting to harvest, that is reward enough for me

but Rollie could give the paid upgrade for free,,,,hint hint :)

Wanted to rep up cant at the moment. I have a question about yellowing leaves bottom 2 nodes in flower week 8. Im using cns17 ripe 1-5-4 nutes during flower the only high n I have is miracle grow 24-8-16 or 3-1-2 as a single digit nute strength. Im planning to go another week or two giving half strength nutes at next water/feed and water curing the last week or last couple of days. Any suggestions.

Im actually surprised you've made it to week 8 before starting to experience an N def. That CNS has too little N to support your plants. I would give it some of your MG, but not quite sure what dosage is required as I haven't used it.

Here is a great link that will help you better understand the role of N. http://www.rainbowplantfood.com/agronomics/efu/nitrogen.pdf

give it a dose of the MG a teaspoon to a gallon of water, just once should do it to stop the yellowing

and IMO water curing sucks, but every one should try it to see for themselves, I would not do the whole harvest though :)

Okay guys, Im gonna get some pics up I promise. It'll take me awhile though. Im all hazed out o my mind.

Supercropping/LST + 400w MH = Ubertight nodes?

This lady i going to give me super monster clones in a week or so. Switching from HPS to MH in my veg chamber is responsible for much of this though. I hope this isn' overload on pics..
