WHO'S HAVING SUCCESS WITH MONSTER CROPPING?

My direct notes:

Weigh In

Trained
1)14.35g. Small buds.
2) 18.23g. Smaller buds.

Monster Cropped
3) 11.39g. - 11.97g Less larf. 16 oz. VERY DRY.
4) 16.57g. - 17.24g Very Dry. 20 oz.

Natural:
5) 15.25g. - 12.63 2x dense
6) 20.02g. - 17.57 Thick. Juicy. Hashy

If the buds were too wet or too dry they were re cured and weighed again, hence the second number.

I'm not a pro, but the natural colas were the best so far. I'm going to claim that my results are inconclusive as far as yield goes. If your strain has Huge buds that can spare some weight, you can probably grow more tops that are slightly less dense. I feel that my plants were too small and the pool too shallow to draw conclusions and yield percentiles.

16 and 20 oz. is how far each plant filled a 32 oz. jar.

I've MCed a few strains and from my experiences it works best on lower, bushier strains. I used Jack Herer as well as critical+ 2.0 and they turned out obnoxious and stringy. But the Shiva Skunk... Omg. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I had 5. The tallest one at the time I flipped to 12/12 was 19" tall and with another person on the other side we couldn't touch fingers while "hugging" it. Damn incredible.

yer i know what you meen, my plants are very short, under 12" and there very bushy

16 in flower 12/12

these plant may only grow 4-5 inches more and the canopy going to end up, a soild bud mass as the buds grow into each other in late flower
stadium grow, outer plants are 6 inches higher as there sitting on 6" pots (so i get a larger sweet spot)

Cushdy man yeah it needed one in my opinion but once the trolling cocks calm down it will be a good resource for a few UK lads.

I had rather poor results with monster cropping. Around 20% less than with regular cuttings or seed (either using supercropping or scrog).

Not only did the yield decrease, but it looked worse too. Most of it was less compact. Monster cropping gave the plants lot's of thin branches that weren't capable of sustaining large cola's. Most of those branches I'd rather prune away if I was growing a regular plant.

Yep thats me but when a good cropper is on it he just carves them plants into something special, my pals shit with feeding and has me round every other day atm. but his cropping and shaping is a delight man! He joining up on here tonight to spill his beans... basically I am a shite cropper, one top and a trim thats it jobs a good un :mrgreen:

jacksthc · Oct 31, 2015

here's my plants 3 weeks into flower, only 12" high, a lot of cropping and shaping, went for a station canopy with 6 plants

only 4 weeks veg

Cl@rksville · Oct 31, 2015

Quality well done, very neat n tidy stuff can't wait to see how these swell up. Is it under this T5 still then?

jacksthc · Oct 31, 2015

thanks fellow

there under a 600w hps so i am hoping for the hole canopy to end up full of 6" cola's

all the plants are about 12" under the air cooled hood,

And they will under that 600 its good you can scrog I'm shite at it so tend to top once or twice and LST the first branches using electrical cable until they bend up or if I have a few on the go I just leave them to grow after topping. I hv had my 600's 24" above with air in the past and never saw a deficit in yield or bud quality, will be following this with interest, always learning :bigjoint:

jacksthc · Oct 31, 2015

not bad idea with the screen but think its going to work out ok with this crop
having a 600w 24" above the plants would cover a large canopy just over 4ft and give you a large yeild, but i like a smaller canopy 3ft x 3ft where i get the large dence cola's but i would pull a smaller crop, depends what you want.

good i will keep putting pics up

thanks

The "MonsterCropping thread" . Noun.

Definition: A collection of "growers" rabidly posting exclamatory photos of entirely standard and average (and in many cases substandard/ subaverage ) cannabis plants displaying normal biological behavioral traits and in line with how they would normally perform when plants are lollypopped a couple weeks into flower. The individuals contained therein appear to believe that simply cloning a sub canopy segment containing a cluster of pistils is netting them scale crushing yields. Today's typical "MonsterCropper" can usually be found speeding through your neighborhood in a slammed civic with aftermarket smoked headlights, while sporting an oversized Affliction tee and a crisp Flatbill, and typically refer to their flowers as "Loud."

As promised lol Here we are View attachment 3509283 View attachment 3509282 I had to give it abit of a trim to show and more light to get in the middle and I waterd that's why the droop. Jacks now I know what you mean about the node majig I monster cropped deep cheese from dinafem before and that was bushy but the buds were further apart. View attachment 3509287
I'm guessin early monster cropping is for a person who has three four stage plants in one flowering room and looking for a real monster crop. I really think jack you should start a conversation about this like to get the word out and show the advantages of these things I am thinking of doing the same again with Dr underground Painkiller and start it properly and we can show it and tell all. I say you because in the recent conversation you guys got deep into it. I bet it will be the new craze like vertical growing and what not

@ ValleyDragon here she is and if you start from beginning you will get what the pros are talking about the right tine and stuff.
