Can you bend during flowering outdoors?

Can you bend branches to create more bud sites in flowering outdoors?

Opening up to the light by bending branches is good for your plants!
just make sure they have support (trellis netting or stakes)

Just be careful not to bend it too much. During flowering the stem starts to harden.

Yes, and like has been said before, just be careful. I bent/super cropped/beat the tar out of these, to keep them low.

And i kept doing it for at least five weeks into flowering. They turned out great!

Nice, what did those end up weighing out to once dried? If you remember.

what you are talking about is "super cropping" and yes it can be done

I think hes specifically asking about bending during flowering
Which yeah, can be done for the first few weeks... But those stems will harden up once flowering and will be very hard to bend without breaking.
Super cropping would normally be done in veg.

Well it was a few ounces for those two. Cant really remember. I had it in the memo section of my last phone but it broke. All together, the three plants were just a little shy of two pounds.

this picture was taken right after I brought them inside. The rain was coming at a constant pace. So I decided they were better off indoors. Anyway, by that time I had quit bending and breaking branches because they couldn't peak over the fence anymore inside.
