i had the same thing happen to one of my branches when i supercropped, it is still like that ! i can see through the stem of one of my branches lol, it is growing fine, i think when the plant rebuilt its innner structure, it ended up making two nutrient highways instead of one, you will b fine playa
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.
Ok, so after reading about Supercropping, I had one question that I think just got answered.
Does supercropping slow vertical growth?? And now, I am thinking YES....Because there is NO WAY Arjan's ultra Haze can be 5 months old and still be around 2 feet tall without doing something that would slow the growth, those babies get 5,6 and 7 feet easily (even when vegged for just 3 to 4 weeks)...LMAO...WOW...
I guess it does makes sense. While the plant is wounded, it can't put all of it's energy into growth,because it now has to divide that energy up between growing and healing.
So I'm thinking that If I super crop a tall sativa at a young age it will prevent it from reaching the normal 8 to 10 feet of height...which is a very good thing. I think I might start Supercropping some sativas. I don't mind long flower times..the height issues is what becomes hard to deal with.
I might grow a Neville's haze and see if I can keep her at around 2 feet and bushy as hell like that plant...that would be a dream come true for me...hahaha...
Nice grow dude...that plant is BEAUTIFUL....
looin good....how many weeks into flower is that?I supercropped these a week before flower
I snapped my main node nearly off, it was holding on by threads of stem, I duct taped her at the tear, about two weeks later its now turned into a big ol knot. Its kinda like supercropping but on accident lol, her lower branches are now the same height as the main node. Pretty sweet wasnt trying to do that just wanted her to grow sideways but now that she broke she looks like shes topped but not. But I would tape the branch directly. If you can take it off without hurting it once you "think" its healed do it but be hella careful, I had to leave some of mine on that is now in flower right now. Hope that helped? lol
if you use some natural bee honey that you can buy at the store, and just put a good fat glob on it, it should heal up. Just prop it up with a stick, using tape can cut off circulation of the branch if it's too tight, same with wire.
Supercropping still releases auxins though not quite as much auxin as pruning the tip. That auxin is going to concentrate on the root system instead of shoot development.I love super cropping, it makes the stems of the plant very sturdy and thick.

So, yes it will slow down growth significantly compared to control group of non cropped plants.
Well there is not "Stopping" at this point, only controlling, if you want them to stay relatively the same height, then you need to tie down the big branches. If they're not in flower i would go ahead and top it as well.
Theres a product called gravity as well as bushmaster that will stop upward growth and push its energy downward to the bottoms. i have never used it and heard that the dosages can be very temperamental. check it out on google or something
*i feel your pain
haha
