+ Rep for help : SUPERCROPPING

I accept with information:This is where the nutrients and water travel through the plant. The object is to break the branch without doing major damage to that inner core. So work the branch and soften the tissue before you break it. Dont just snap it. It can take 5 minutes to break one branch if you do it proper.

I'm not talking about bending...Let me clarify, if the lower area of the plant has thick stalks because of repeated cutting back, those thickened lower stalks help deliver larger amounts of water and nutrition more efficiently than thinner stalks. And since the idea is to create a bushy, evenly distributed high yielding plant, you will benefit by having that abnormally wide base..I wasn't refering to the area that you actually bend.

What you do is take the tallest stems and brend them over so when they are bent they will be level with the lower ones, this will give the lower ones time to grow and catch up. Dont break the stems just bend them. A quite simple concept that is not usually explained so easy..

It also depends on the strain you are working with because some strains dont take well to the supercropping they can just break. I dont advise it in flower either because stalks are more woody.. they will likely just break. and it will stun budding.

First off, beautiful girls my friend. Pretty much pinch at the node, lay it perpendicular to the plant, and pinch to settle it in. Its simple as long as you are gentle and recogzize how to bend rather than snap. Everyone has pretty much steered you in the right direction. I have also seen people lst and suppercrop at once. they took already lst'd plants, did more lst and supercropped the skinnier offshoots. The blooms and bud sites exploded and they were able to save damn near a few feet. My buddy just tried it. I watched him do it. After the day or so of shock and chage they jusy started getting bushy as hell. good luck bro. sure you will do the right thing and prosper.
