I definitely pinched too much, but I was hoping the stem would pull through given the fact it continues to produce new growth and move toward the light.

how the fuck did u pinch to much man??? ur plants might need some sea kelp to build up there strength.
the stems on my plant are strong and after pinching my fingers are usually pretty soar.
does ur plant have any fans blowing it? that is also a great way to strengthen up the stem.

I do have fans blowing. Do you think they just need more time to recover? I SC'd only a couple of days ago.

I did the same exact thing with my first try at supercropping, and didn't care for the results. I also noticed that one strain was more effected than the other, turning brown like that, while the other strain didn't. Maybe it's the strain? It's probably pinched too much too, but the strain might be contributing to the problem. Anyway, mine survived just fine, but were really thick with leaves where I supercropped and didn't let much light penetrate below that level. I did end up with lots of colas though, so i can't complain too much.

I'm growing Flo and she seems to be pretty resilient. After a few days there is no sign of wilting or death above the pinch spot. Going to 12/12 today...............Fingers crossed.

Duct tape may not work on ducting too well, but for your pinched plant, it'll hold it up nicely. Just tape it up and forget it. The stem is just a big water pump, you just made a kink in it. Tape it up to unkink and the plant will do the rest.

Thanks for the input everyone. Most of them are surviving and they are beginning to un-kink and correct themselves. Just goes to show how resilient these plants really are. However, I will still probably have to tape up one or two of them.

if you tape them do not put the tape right on the stem! put gauze or something and then put the tape around that, i hope im not too late, you need to take the tape off when they heal. they just need time, it will probally take a week or so for everything to be back to normal, so dont worry about that.

i kinda broke the outside of my stem, the creashed spot turned a little brown, but it seems to pull through and i did this more than one time in more than one spot, but so far no problems with it

They seem to be healing ok. I'm a couple of days into flowering, so when the light comes on I'll take a few pictures to show the progress.

Let the healing begin! Some pics of the supercropped.
