@Homie Da Clown i could Benefit from super cropping
What week flower you in? I can’t get the pics to load without an extensive wait time. I did see a couple. It looks like you did some lst early on as I see several tops at about the same height.
supercropping is a way to get an even canopy. It’s also utilized As a way to keep the plants from getting too tall. I have utilized supercropping all the way to week 4, but I honestly think supercropping should be done one week before flip. Know your strain and know it’s stretch characteristics. Keep journals.
Understand that a plant has one job and one job only. To survive to spread its seed, and reproduce. So it’s always trying to grow straight up. Using different methods, you stress the plant by making it think the apical cola branch is injured. It will respond by making all the lower shoots race to the top. That is how you get many colas at the same height. Why does that matter? Because outside the sun is as powerful at the top as it is at the bottom, so life is good. But indoor under lights, this is not true. Be further away from the lights, the less lumens. And that has a serious effect on the size, taste, and overall ripeness of the lower buds. We call that larf.
our goal inside is to not waste anything, from light to plant material. So we get all the tops to the same height.
The resin or thc is produced by the plant as it’s defenses around the seeds to keep animals from damaging the seed or seed pods. Amazing huh?
Ok so with everything we know, I put it like this. We want to build short stocky plants that have huge rootballs and thick stems. We then lollipop all that is under 18 inches from the top. Now that big root ball and stems and branches now can send all that good shit straight up to the top colas.
So if your past week 2 flower, just let it ride, and we will get you on track next run. One run with me and you will soak up my knowledge and then you can share it with someone else.
Do note, I’m not the best grower in the world, but I’m not to shabby. Also I started with dwc, and I admire ppl that said fuck it, and jumped right in to dwc!
