Can I use supercrop method when already flowering?

[lulibenko]

It wouldnt be Hard if I didnt need the other side of room But I need to walk around plants and need space thats why I dont Have a clue how to tie the plants if they'll still grow

No it won't slow it down - In fact, it will speed it up a tad! The "cracked" or "Pinched" stem causes MORE flows to that branch! The increased metabolic rate does not "stop" at the damage! It works the for whole branch!
You've got more learn'in to do little buddy!

I've observed the effects of super cropping on my last plants and I do admit the buds swelled up quite large compared to a plant I did not super crop. I'm talking in the context of one of the replies telling OP he could super crop in the last week of flower. Now I'll feel really uneducated if I'm wrong but surely super cropping a week before harvest wouldn't do no more than hurt your plant?

As far as learning I do know super cropping does increase bud size and the like, it's also used to help create an even canopy...what else am I missing on? I'm feeling a little taken out of context.

TOTAL BULLSHIT! Where the fuck do you newbies get this shit?[/I]

I can answer this one. A good portion of the information I've been told I'm wrong on and what I've seen other users called out on is the information we find when we Google problems or information about growing cannabis. Sadly there is a lot of misinformation because most of us have been growing for a very short amount of time and don't all have a good understanding of plant biology nor have had the privilege of taking educational courses for it/having been growing for a really long time and have had time to perfect the art.

The knowledge growers like you and @RM3 have doesn't seem as readily available to the common user. Now I know if I search hard enough I can find information relating to how the pros grow and I can truly understand it. But the average user on here isn't going to read the skinny on a scientific journal on alcohol fermentation in plants they're just trying to figure out why the hell a pro is boiling their roots and they don't have the mind to connect the two together. That is the most sense I can make of it. I know I'm very assertive in my knowledge but I do admit I a newbie still and that is my "smart" newbie perspective.


Edit: Forgot to include that obviously because cannabis is still federally illegal we only have a few quality written resources that most new users haven't bothered themselves with (growing books you can buy online, etc.) I'm sure as times change and the attitude on the plant changes we'll see even more well established, publicly accessible, and 100% scientifically accurate books and materials that are easily understood by the common man.

Except the global scientific community can't even agree on climate change when it's out there slappin em in the face LOL

For what it's worth you can super crop any time

Could be a bit (context).....Last week will not hurt, but I sure would like to know why so late.. height has been reached so SCing for "too close" to lighting is not it...

But, again no. It would not "hurt" the plant or yield doing it "late".

Okay thank you and thanks all for the knowledge shared

Try and see for yourself!

P.S. creating an even canopy or controlling the height is not the only thing that supercropping does! It activates a natural response in plants and moves auxins from apical ends to other parts of the plant which leads to various changes in different stages of growth.

Experience is paramount you have to LISTEN and EXPERIMENT. Listening to Your elders was not just something said for no reason. Saying that ,we all naturally want to go against what our more experienced elders say and that my friend is where the magic happens. If you've listened to the right people and established a good foundation of knowledge, you CAN start experimenting and exploring other possibilities and sometimes with great results! That's where tons of our "new" awesome growing techniques come from. You have endless resources at your fingertips here from lots of old Jedi's. Be humble, keep your ego and pride in check and you will be saying"fuck I actually grew that" friends and dumbfucks far and wide will be jealous. Good luck and may your harvest be magical
