Is there a way to make the branches thicker?

1. a fan
2. bend without breaking, but enough to cause some internal fibre damage

the stronger the wind the thicker the branches.

basically the wind from the fan causes movement and when the branches and leaves movment causes internal damage( this is good lol) which releases auxins and promotes growth basically light stress can be helpful if you want em thick put either more fan movement or the bending method not enough to break em but jus enough to stress that limb.....

Strong wind isn't good for plants BTW
Silica blast is a good product for strengthening plant stems
HPS bulbs with some blue spectrum helps control stretch
Keeping the lights close helps keep plants stocky.
Low temperatures also help keep stretch down
Certain strains are more stocky than others

basically pincing rite next to nodes look in to super cropping its the same method
and no not super fast flying winds jus a good flow and not super fast at first they need to work thier way up

not neccessarily thicker but by employing a soma technique that i use you can redirect some o fthe energy to the lower branches whilst the knuckle refforms on the top branches .. the result and teh reason i use it i that i can get more heads to the canopy of light
2 or 3 nodes down and squeeze till you feel it pop dont worry it will be fine
from soma tips
"
Another one of my tricks is stem bending, a technique where you roll the stem inbetween your fingers while squeezing fairly hard, but not hard enough to break the stem, then slowly bend the stem over. The stem forms a hard elbow where it was bent and the top straightens itself out so that it can continue pointing at the Sun (grow light ). The result is what is called Supercropping. The secondary buds underneath the tops, build up with a survival hormone because of the stress factor and become at least twice as large as normal, increasing the yield and potentcy. I do this technique to each plant quite a few times as they are growing to achieve an even canopy as I look at the plants from the top."
+ rep me up if its helpful please
