Yeah ! I didn't know it would do that without tying it down. I really didn't want any strings in the way or LST so I figured I'd just snap em. LOL teach Me ! haha
Shit grows like a weed!

i dont get why my marijuana plants don't grow as fast as other people. maybe now that i have the correct supplies mine will grow like your guys'.
you have to hold your lipps just right when watering.

Your super crops look nice but u need to do the main stem too. Don't be worried if it snaps and has an or
Open wound just tape it up. You shouldn't tape unless necessary those branches you cropped look perfect before the tape was put on.

lol ya my neighbors see me talking to my pot plants they will think im loony. i talked to him about me growing some weed in my back yard and he said he could care less about it.
my yard is pretty secure. but when my neighbor sees how big my plants get he will be like damn..his gardener grows weed. everyone grows or has some hand in the pot industry it seems like around here in the IE. quite a bit of old folks smoking joints instead of popping pills. much better!

looks good. just FYI, that branch will probably come back up. maybe try tying/weighing it down. fill up a water bottle and lay it on the soil. cut a long string, and put it around the branch. put the ends of the string under the water bottle so it stays tight. the part after where the string is will start growin upwards from that spot.
edit: unless you want it to come back up... personally id tie it down so it grows outwards. all those little leaves along that branch will turn into branches themselves and grow up. should make it real bushy. however, when the branch is horizontal like that, im not sure how strong it will be. if you grow the plant out huge, there will be a lot of weight on that spot, and the angle MAY make it break. its all about experimentation!

ok well the very top of the branch i super cropped was too wilted to come back so i had to cut it off. but the rest of the branch is healthy. its kind of windy out so that might have moved the broken branch and fucked it up so i had to tape it and support it. but everything is great, all the super crops have come back and all the plants are reaching for the 95 degree sun! fuck its hot already

I've never grown it personally, but all the best skunk crosses I've seen have been with one of those two. I rarely see the pure strains in bud form. It's been a few years since I've seen it at all. It's sorta like hindu kush in the way that they are primarily breeding strains. Also orange skunk is another breeding strain.
IMO breeding skunk right now is an excellent idea. Not a lot of skunk out there at the moment so it's kinda like bringing back a classic. GL finding those skunk strains though. I never see them around. I believe sensi seeds does skunk, but I can't personally vouch for how good it is.

the top that bent over was blown by the wind and since it wasn't taped it got ripped open and it slowly wilted and died. so that was about 3 nodes that broke off leaving 2 maybe 3 nodes below that will turn into top branches, hopefully, at least the top two will since its effectively a top, just a little more was taken off with the top. on accident of course 
. but the other branch on the other plant and the lower one both still taped are perfect and growing. im going to have to tie down the sour grapes a bit and the two purple kushes with some hemp string. they are bushes.
IS IT TOO LATE TO TOP THE PLANTS? THEY HAVE ABOUT 1 month left to veg outside maybe. if they have less, will the plants be ok?

Im a big fan of LSTing but.. for outdoor Im not positive on the benefits .. Dan looks like he is experienced outdoor he prob has a better idea on what to do for that kind of grow... I just do it indoor to keep the majority of my canopy in the penetration range of the lights... But i'll show ya how I do it when we meet up. I am trying to see TWS this week sometime ..

i didnt know u have strong winds. you definitely shouldve tied that branch down. every supercrop u do from now on needs to be tied down. they will break off in the wind if u dont. no it shouldnt be too late to top.the top that bent over was blown by the wind and since it wasn't taped it got ripped open and it slowly wilted and died. so that was about 3 nodes that broke off leaving 2 maybe 3 nodes below that will turn into top branches, hopefully, at least the top two will since its effectively a top, just a little more was taken off with the top. on accident of course

how does hemp string work in water? does it get all soggy and break apart? i tie a loop on the end of strings, and put a zip tie through it and around the branch. so if i need to move it more towards the end of the branch as the plant grows, i just cut the zip tie and use a new one. this way i dont have to retie strings hundreds of times. 99 cent store has a 200 pack of multiple colored zip ties. they were kinda hidden behind the black zip ties with less in them.
