seeing as this is my first indoor gro...i think i'll hold off on it...i cant afford to lose any more...i do grow outdoors and will defintly apply this..as i will also do my next grow...i cant wait to strt this...i plan on practicing the squeeze part on my hermies tommoroow...thanks agian for strting this thread!!!!!!

here's an example using one of my plants.

ok guys... So i was waiting and waiting to dispose of old dirt, clean the 5 gallon buckets, and transplant. Im definately putting these plants throught he tests.... I just transplanted all 6 of them into the 5 gallon buckets.. and then..... BAM supercropped all of them... needless to say i had to stay sober for a few hours...lol.... But without further adu... and puffin on a big fat blunt....

of course you can.... think of it this way... the bent trunk will act as the soil line.... the new growth will be like new plants..... So do it right before flowering and those sativas shouldnt get tooo tall.

can you suppercrop while your plant is in flowering?

submachinegun says that it could go hermie due to stress..

I cant agree or disagree... I only do it in veg.

i want seeds so supercropping tomorow woohoo

I cant see how it could be that much of a diference with pinching and bending .. than just pinching... and i know for sure that never anyone that i or my family knows have ever had hermies because they used the pinch for gain deal. If you guys that are flowering are scared to bend i understand... But i tell you ...do yourself a favor... especially if your in the first week of flower ... PInch the hell out of her... make her grow some bigger veins to give feed to those buds.

that's what fucked me, thinking it'd be cool. you always want to let your plant heal first, then flower. because if it's doing both, not only will it decrease your yield and prolong the flowering period, it could make hermies.

i have all the time in the world. i cant smoke for 9 months (pee for enjoyment not for employment) anyways..... anyone got suggestions on huge indicas for outdoor growing this summer. and also how do you super crop so you get 2 main colas instead of just strengthening the main cola?

that's called topping or fimming. you cut below the top nodes and it sprouts two more in it's place, also let this heal before flower. fimming is similar. I top my outdoor so i have fat bushes rather than 10ft tall obvious ass plants.

hey bro. Just pinched my girl, her stem about as thick as my index finger where i pinched. pinched one side then the other, was very hard to do, but it went soft eventually. then i bent the top down and crack!! the stem split open at two points. i felt pretty pleased with myself(i'd had a few beers by this stage) for all of.......1 minute. now thinking i have fucked up tremendously!
i pinched her half way up.
any how, after half an hour of stress,(mine and hers!!!) i stood her back up and tapped her at the bend (snap) point.
in your opinion, have i made a mistake??? (on all counts)

I guess i should have explained that when you do this you want to be gentle...


pinch both sides ...then do it again int he same spot to weakn it more... then slowly... while your fingers is on the bend feeling how it gives to you putting pressure with the other hand as you slowly bend her down...


without a picture its hard to tell you how bad it is...

Is it a snap that will cause the branch to fall off? if not put the band aid at the bend.. i mean you allready bent it... band aid it ont he bend...

Allot of my tops snaps/rips... well more like a small rip than a big as snap...

it should be fine unless you damaged the internal tube so much it wont pass juices through it...

I wish you posted a pic for me... got one?

If you leave it alone, the two points where it split in the branch will regenerate. You do not even have to tape it up and stand her back up. You already swam halfway bro why swim back by standing back up?
