Are all the plants doing or just the one. The idea with super cropping is to damage the vascular tissue so you will get that classic knuckle to form on the break site. But to much
And you kisk dadamaging the plant to little and the knuckle will not form. You will just see you plant rebound from the vend position. Make sure you pick a newer growth area to cropp and not an older woody stem. I am more of a fan of gridding or scrogging. Any pictures of your widows??

I'm feeding them once a week I had spider mites on my plants so I mixed a solution of safer insecticide soap and mixed it with water that was 2 days ago and I'm feeding them every 3 days of the plant food it something I got from a gardening store not sure the name of it but it's safe on tomatoes it wasn't til I stressed the plant by bending it.....that's wat I came out to the next day which made me think that super cropping it did something.....I'm a newbie still trying to figure everythn out I really need some help if you can't tell this is my first grow and I chose to do it outside

At that age and height i wouldn't feed them, as for every three day feeding that was to much. And when you feed in the veg state you want a higher N on the NPK RATIO, IDK what your blend is. But no more feeding only water and sun and hope they pull out of it. As for the mites, i use neem oil, which is usually mixed with a soap. But thats more of a preventive measure. I use a well rounded friut tree spray if i see any bugs. and a tip since your new just let the girls grow,no cropping until you feel ccomfortable and some growing under your belt. The scrogging is easy and a low stress method if you wanted to try it. I definitely recommend ordering the weed bible and read, read,read. I do plenty if researcher and questioning before i jump in, but practice does make perfect.

Here are two of my widows, cloned on 5/7, currently in 45 gallon pots and widow #A is 31.5 inches #B is 32, #B was also stunted for well over a month so if you see slow growth dont be to concerned. As you can see now there the same size.

Certian strains are hard, and need that controled environment of the indoors, but most, like widow are easily addapted. In or out they both have advantages and disadvantages but i prefer outdoors

I'm growing two White Widows this year. It is a potent strain that always provides a bunch and a punch. Your plants are suffering from grower error. Their best chance at survival is for you to water them, and nothing else for a week or two. Supercropping requires a demonstration and experience.

When you Supercrop you need to know what you are trying to do. Keep them low? Increase their footprint? Decide which direction to bend them.

There is a point on each stem where the stem stops being 'woody'. That is where you want to make the 'bend'. Do it gently, feeling for that point where the stem begins to 'crimp'. If it wants to bend beyond 90 degrees, support it somehow to keep it slightly above 90 degrees. Otherwise it might crimp the stem, preventing water flow to the tip, as yours seems to have done. Look up LST(Low Stress Training). It is far less risky and provides the same benefits.
