looks good. lst = low stress training, tieing the limbs down to open up the budsites down inside the plant. super cropping is "breaking" stems without breaking the outside skin, you have to be careful doing it, but where you break the stem it gets fat and pumps through more nutrients, and all the side branches past the break will start to grow more

i've got a jack growing right now, it tried to damp off when it was sprouting,. but after that, its been an easy grow and a good looking plant, check out the link to my journal, 5 weeks pics yesterday of a 6 inch main cola

My biggest weakness in life is weeks 7-8-9-10 of flowering plants. Im straight addicted to mature cannabis plants however i find myself having to have a nice headstash during this wait is a must for me to distract myself. I wanna go in to the flower room everyday when i should be going in every 7-10 days lol.

When height becomes a problem when flowering you don't have to chop off the top cola. Instead, grab the top cola and bend the top 8 inches or so until the top is parallel to the floor. The top will keep on filling in and maturing and you don't have to feel bad for chopping early.

Good luck, BigSteve.
