You don't think the tape will damage it in any way? I mean I'll be able to harvest it in 3-4 more weeks anyway and the tapes only been on there a week

XD no it wont hurt it. It's a band aid on a scratch. If anuthing I'll keep anything from infecting the opening if it isn't completely sealed.

I feel like it applies to the old "if it ain't broken, don't fix it". Had it been on flowers(not sure how/why), but i just don't see tje need to take it off. Safe is always better than sorry.

I think so too. I was showing it to my brother and mom while they were visiting. Well,I live in a neighborhood and it was day time. No one was around but just in case I put a long sleeve shirt over it before I bring the pot out of the woods. When I got into my living room where my family was and went to uncover it is when I somehow uncovered it wrongful etc.. And there you go. It supercropped because it bent it straight out and there were tears but not broken so I taped like I had read about because I never super cropped before but according to my reading definition that's pretty much what it means. I have had hurricanes blow inland far enough to where I had plants I had topped when they were like a foot and a half tall then theyvsplit of course grew up over 7 feet tall and the wind split em right down the middle and i was like oh mother fucker especially on a first time so I duct taped em straighten back up and ill be damned if they continued budding and harvested nicely. When this accident happened I was like oh fuck also because flowering and also my only auto blueberry 3-4 weeks until ready and since I had already lost a lot of growth experimenting growing it through several weeks of 50-60 degree days and bringing in at night just to see how they perform it only got 20 inches tall and side branches a couple inches so I only expect a huge bud mainly maybe a half oz but since this accident happened just like I studied a big knot grew aothe stalk doubled in girth where it happened and I guess like what I read said,that knot transports nutrients like crazy to the growth and in just a week the buds have doubled in size plus since the stalk is bent straight out those buds grew turned upwards and now its a bunch of couple inch long buds instead of a big bud mainly at the top with the smaller buds under on the main stalk and still has the main bud and the few small side branch buds so actually I think I may possibly get an extra quarter oz.I know 3/4 oz isn't a huge amount even for an auto blueberry but as I said 20 inches tall grew through 4-5 hours sunlight daily full anyway and through several weeks of cold im actually a little proud and now that I have cut down about 11 small trees I get around 11 full sun hours compared to 4-5 and still need to cut down around 9 more smaller trees. I probably will get 1-2 more full sun hours totaling 13 and I think now that I experimented I could get 3 oz. I gave a friend my other one I started a month later and now I wish I had gave him this flowering 1 because its grown through a lot warmer weather and is 6 inches taller and just started to flower and when mine did it more than doubled on the flower stretch so if his does I think he'll get 3 oz. Now I have an ak 47 auto and a think different auto out there 2 weeks old I just transitioned from indoors to outdoors and in a day or 2 put into full sun but they curled first 24 hours a little but then started coming out of it within 24 more hours. I also have a photo blueberry. Thanks everyone for yalls advice though, I really appreciate it.

Supercrop os actually good. Thats what you do is bend the main so the others all catch up. So you mistakenly found how easy and.good it can be XD

Well I had been studying and really liked the results but yes by mistake im probably almost doubling yield. Too bad regular yield was only gonna be around a half oz due to it being a small auto grown outdoors through winter but I'll see in 3-4 weeks it will be harvested. Also my first auto and its a blueberry

I think Blueberries are notoriously small but good quality.

I believe so too but now I also have a photo blue and in comparison the photo grows three times faster but then again its nice,sunny and a whole lot warmer weather now. I know a lot of you guy are in more northern states but here in south Alabama even for here and it only being early May,yesterday it got 93 degrees and 98 with heat index. Today 94 and supposed to hit 102 with index. During mid summer we have a few weeks straight where its anywhere from 105-121 heat index and without still 96 -105. I have saw many times at the end of the day when sun starts setting and I go to water in darkness approaching the entire plant a little wilted and not from lack of plenty of all it needs but from brutal mother nature heat at her finest lol. The next morning plants saluting at attention bit already 80 degrees at daylight

I have a new question. I just checked my blueberry and I hope you guys or some of yall know this insect? It looks like someone spit on your plant and in the center of this spit puddle a very small black bug. Now with that being said, in my experiences throughout years, they haven't ever really caused any other problems besides a tiny eyesore but just wandering does anyone know this bug lol?

I don't know what they are,but we call them spit bugs... I never saw them on a weed plant though...

I have before in the past several years ago but they didn't harm anything so in not worried, just wandering

I was more concerned with the spit than the bug...

For sure XD. I like coco cause bugs don't like it. Imo, as long as close to harvest and they get on leaves and no buds just spray them off regularly.
