Supercropping is a major technique in my garden. My greenhouses are "Low profile". The ceiling is a maximum of 8 feet, and the residents often reach eleven feet in length. It's a chore to keep the kholas from pushing on the ceiling. The last shot is of a different sort of training. Cannabis doesn't suffer much damage from splitting, as long as the skin/bark remains intact, lengthwise. It can be very handy when a topped plant decides to reach for the sky. Back in the early 70's a lot of growers would split plants and ties each half down, to minimize height. LST and Supercropping pretty much eliminated the practice. I think this particular split was caused by gravity.

This branch produced three branches per node, with very tight internode length. It ended up very large.

Some years I string twine through the cage to help support heavy branches as the buds mature. I sometimes use wire hooks to hold a branch to the twine, helping to control the effects of wind and rain.

I hope everybody gets the opportunity to have a pet like Fuzzy. I rarely take my camera out to shoot photos of him, but it seems that he always appears and poses. He knows he looks good and likes to show off.

I'm working through the pictures sort of systematically, to avoid repeats. They are roughly in a reverse chronological order. Older pictures, last.

How to make a catnip ball. Fuzzy considers it my greatest accomplishment.

One day, Fuzzy got locked in the cage. I was busy and ignored his mournful looks.

After a while...

Since I took these pix, I've seen him climb into the cage as well as out.

This is my first Durban Plant. It is also the mother of the first cross leading to my Starburst. Seven long kholas, each with well over an ounce of buds.

This pic of my first Herijuana and the above pic were taken in 2005. The first year my greenhouses were in place.

The Durban buds from the plant pictured above. Correction, eight kholas.

My spouse was boggled by the yield from my new greenhouses.

A friend gave me a clone in late March of 2005. It didn't begin to put on new vegetation for three months. An 8" stick with a quarter sized cluster of leaves at the tip. It took off and eventually produced over a QP, as pictured. I left the plant in the ground until I'd cured its buds. The first doob encouraged me to KEEP this clone only strain. I dug it up, and kept it ina five gallon pot through the winter. I put it back in the ground the following Spring, where it produced about another QP, revegged, and that Fall, produced two pounds. I kept clones for three more years, but finally lost the strain. I did cross it with everything in sight!

This is a particularly beautiful New York Diesel. It was VERY fine smoke. A clone from the Third Floor, in Oakland.

A complete canopy in the cage. The extreme LST was responsible, along with a very warm summer, in '08.

Apparently hadn't medicated before going to the mountains.(A friend sent me this, a few years ago.)

Warm ground on a warm day helps old aching joints.(14 now, and still doing fine.)

The colors in my garden are sometimes incredible. Have you ever taken pictures before sunrise? There are often a lot of interesting subjects.
