Kandy Kush, WW, and pinapple express under 1300watt hps! Rep to all who stop by!

Budman, I'm just passing on what was passed on to me but I'm def pleased with the results. Super cropping is where you pinch a branch and bend it back and forth making a "kink" in the branch so instead of standing up strait it lays over sideways exposing all the lower budding sites to direct light. This I believe is usually done in the mid to later parts of flowering when the top main colas get so big they aren't allowing light down to the lower budding sites depriving them of their full growth potential. It was difficult for me to do at first cause I felt like I was harming my plants but when you see the results all that fear goes away cause you better understand what you are doing. My ladies take all the abuse I give 'em and come back for more. The breaks are healing within hours and now I have much happier and in the end much bigger lower buds and isn't that what we all want, big buds. I have pics posted through this journal of me using this technique. And it has never slowed my growth. Never!
i thought it was LST but i was not sure exactly what it was. now the super cropping i do depending on the size of the baby when she heads to 12/12 .. i did it to the mother i just flowered on 3 of the main stems and its working great. im thinking about doing LST for my personal for sure. but i dont have enough time to do it on my regular set up and since its hydro and about to be aero i dunno if that would work well. i will however harvest a lb every 3 weeks with the aero set up. . (anyone who thinks im not serious please say so "nicely" so i can show you what im talking about) but mass your really right about the girls taking whatever you give em'... they like it rough! !

All of my plants are LST. Only a few branches have been supercropped. Good luck on ur perpetual grow. A pound every 3 weeks? Now thats what I'm talkin bout! How many plants do you plan on harvesting every 3 weeks to produce a pound? Yeah, they def like it rough!

BURGER BOSS TY! +rep 4 stopping by! I hope u will stop through from time to time and check me out . Leave any advice you see necessary. I'll be sure to check out ur thread and c what u have going on. I germed the PE freebie and it sprouted a very small tail then never did anything else again. I found a few other people here that got the same PE freebie I did and they had the same thing happen with theres. I'm not hating on the strain I just figured it was probably a bad batch or something (bet thats y they were freebies!). If it would have made it, it would be in there flowering now. Guess I'll have to smoke vicariously through you, lol. I'm chiefing on some sour diesel right now. I can't wait to get my lungs on the Kandy Kush!

How many watts are the UFO's? Is it the round ones with blue and red lights? Those are some damn good strains! I love Kush!

I have MH & HPS bulbs but i do not have ballast or hood for them, maybe i'll get one and do different style grows not cetain as of yet since i really just started cultivating again since i was 14 or 15 yrs old been like ten years back then i was an outdoor grower

If you are gonna spend anymore money at all on lighting I would suggest Putting it toward a digital ballast. It will run both hps and mh bulbs and the hps will give you awesome yields. Use the UFO's then for supplemental side lighting.

its a 14 plant aero site run with strains that average 8 weeks to finish from day one of 12/12 with three units under 2 1000s 14 in each unit. well i guess i could try and explain it fully but you might as well just check out the guy who started it and has such an awesome thread on here about it.

UFo's are 40 w & 90 w one round and one panel w/Collimated led
I've seen some awesome grows here done with just UFO's so you should be plenty strait. I've def spent some money buying lamps but the hps really changed the game for me as far as yield. Hope u get ur camera soon! I'd love to see pics!
