So does the branch with the pin through it slow in growth allowing side branches to even out the canopy?
New Supercropping technique. clothes pins?

Have you ever pinched your stalks??? It does the same thing but at a lighter, *constant, pressure. It just might be sending a healing hormone at a constant rate making it stronger??? like body building i guess. but without the recovery time.. I may try a few days on a few days off or maybe just move them around? and i think you mean to say the branch going through the pin?? im not piercing the plant at all.

I need another day. The way im doin things is a pain in the ass so im gonna get a new way. the plant on the right in the picture is the one thats had the clothes pins for the last 5 days. The plant on the left is an average plant from the table same strain same mom same everything. I lollypopped both but maybe a lil more on the left.. The pics im missing are of the developed buds at the top.. Right plant has huge pom-pom's and the left is ?, well not a huge pom-pom.. lol.. the stress is causing the bottoms to go crazy as well as the center cola. the plant on the left got a clothes pin today before the photo

yeah i do. but that pic is a joke. the right table had only 1.5" rw cubes and clay pebbles.. the the left table is, 1.5" in 3" rw cubes and then in clay pebbles. with my flood cycles the little cubes didnt catch as well or maybe dried up in early development.. so i got a bunch of bonsai's.. I think i have to do a day by day pics to do this experiment properly.

this just gave me an idea of another way to lst. i initially misread the first post and thought you were using the clothespins to actually weigh down the branches like in lst. it never occured to me to tie weights before, so thanks for the idea even if you didn't mean to give it to me. and i think homebrewer is from someplace where they don't have clothespins lol. the pic does kind of look like you shoved something through the stem so i can see where he would be confused.

SO you put them on about 3 1/2 weeks into flowering, do you put it on daily or just every once and awhile?

I just started doing this. I noticed the swell, and the plants dont seem to suffer one bit. One in paticular just had done great things, so i felt the need to experiment. These things are a nickle at the dime store, slap one on and tell me what you think. Ive been putting them on and leaving them in one spot for a couple days at a time, then moving them to another spot on the same plant.
