As have I, which is precisely why I recommended early in this thread that the OP investigate the technique.

Almost every indoor flower cycle I've ever run, I've supercropped at least one plant.
Yeah, I can't remember table I didn't have to snap a few necks on. I have horrible canopy control LOL strain hunting it's a curse LOL

LOL yep.

I do my own cross breeding frequently, so often I could have eight plants bred from the same two parents that all have varying heights in their growth patterns, so that doesn't help either.

Nor do I ever use screens or LST. I've always just allowed my plants to grow however they want, supercropping when they do something I don't like :)

Pretty much the same here. I'm always running many different strains. Anything can happen. I can't have a herm tied into a net I couldn't get to. One time, when I was running rails, I had this gigantic plant that was simply to big. She fell into the rail and killed two of her rail mates :( makes sense we all grow so many different ways. It fits our many needs.

Yes because clearly a simple grammatical error defines how well you grow.. Anyone who thinks super cropping is going to hurt a flowering plant doesn't have much experience, plain and simple..
Only 3 indoor grows, I never professed to be a master grower. Yrs ago we all planted outside on a friends grandmothers property. Grew outdoors before your Daddy was born, son.

Only grow for myself, GF doesn't get high at all. She has a GOOD job. She quit in 2004.

Whole lotta punks on roll it up. If u saw me in person you'd STFU and mind ur own biz.

Back in the day you didn't want anyone to know you had pot plants and all pot came with tons of seeds (mexican brickweed). We'd throw the seeds into the sidewalk flower gardens of the council people, mayor, local cops :D It was fun to see how big they'd get before they pulled them out. One time the guy across the street, a cop, was out there cussing out his teenage son for the plants ROFLMAO!

My first connect had a brother that drove 18 wheelers cross country. Garbage bag full (kilo) of Mexican shit pot. Stems + seeds galore....1971.
Kilos for $140 back then. Got 20 a zee, shit would barely fit in a baggie, the sticks would have a few holes in that baggie too.\

LOL so now I know I'm a lil' older than you. Then again I was within a couple hours of the Mexican border. Lids were $10.00 for a generous Oz and Keys were $99.00

Ah, you have grown indoors much longer then I have, respect your opinions on indoor grows. I'll be 65 in Aug.
Be careful about that I can be a pretty shitty grower. I'd say I'm solidly intermediate these days. But damn if getting better weed doesn't hit me in my motivation :P

Have a good Valentine's day. Are you a Leo? So's my son, a lot of good peeps born in August.
Yep, Aug 2nd

You are one of the ppl at RIU I'd meet if it was possible and feasable. You and ur hubs.

Nah, u succeed in low RH conditions, I'm learning how this grow......lots more messin around in the tent. Added 3% hydrogen peroxide, 30 mills to a gallon of my ph'd tap water recently.....Seems to have created more aeration in the soil and the younguns perked up.

I really gotta bail, she will be snoring within the hour. She worked a 12 hr shift today.

Haha, those were west coast prices! Here on the east coast back in the day, $20 an oz was standard for the typical Mexican brick crap.

I'm in upstate too, and just a few years younger than you guys...I'm an old outdoor grower too!

When I was 16 years old, and already on my own, I bought 10 kilos of that crap, for $1,000 here, that my friend brought back from Tucson...Thought I was gonna get rich! The ki's actually only weighed under 2 pounds each as they were so dry, wrapped only in Mexican newspaper...I found a dead bird in one, and a silver spoon in another, and more stems and seeds than I care to remember. The THC level was probably about -1%. It was sooo bad! I did NOT get rich, lol...

Then once in a while some Colombian Gold, or Redbud would come around and we'd all bitch like hell because it was $40 or $45 an oz.
The first really great weed I ever smoked was from Gainesville Florida, called Gainesville Green, around 1975! Of course I didn't know anyone on the west coast back then...unfortunately...but that changed after Vietnam.

Damned I am old!

A dead bird and a silver spoon, LOL, both of which would have smoked better than that weed! I have to say I got pretty good brick weed here, we had the best trash weed LOL

Its my understanding that washing buds only serve a purpose for outside growers. There’s all kind of things that get on your plant outside vs inside.

I super cropped on day 21 into flower. No more than 2-3 main sites that were getting to close to the light. It’s now day 25, and while it didn’t actually hurt the girls, it did however slow their growth a bit, obviously recovering. You can see the tips now curving up a little bit back toward the light, but not much. I’m in my tent everyday, so maybe because I see them so often I don’t actually see what’s really going on in terms of growth. I’ll chime back in a week and update any progress if any.
