if u have horizontal space and can wait a week- week and a half b4 u flower, super crop.. it will lower ur plants, let the buds at the botom become tops and mature and creat a sea of green affect.. check my journal in my signature.. its 7 plants all supercropped and a few sog clones as an experiment... ull see that they r very low, full , and the buds at the base of my plants are now as high as the rest of my plants creating an even canopy which is very good for growing rather then an uneven canopy... theres a great supper cropping thread in there for u as well.. i swear by this meathod, if plant #'s or height is an issue.. plus u get a lot more outta her.. ur colas may not be as big but ull get 5 times the amount of them u could still supper crop and then flower but its good to give it at least a week to let them side buds grow vertical

If you can run a string across two points, you can bend them over and tie them to the string (trellace... i thin is the word for it) and get that light hitting the side of the main stem. you'll get more out of your plant by doing this anyway. Every node will try and push a bud out.... the more light they get.... the more successful they are.


I am sure someone will be more than happy to correct me if I'm wrong.... but that's what I would do.:leaf:

plz do... good luck.. dont be afraid... jus give them a good pich and twist to soften the stem b4 u bend it.. and if it does damage to ur stalks, dont worry.. the shit i put mine threw is like an anal rape with no lube.. the stems all spilt and shit, they will heal as long as its not severeved from the plant... the best places to bend is where its a lil hardy rather then near the top.. at the top is ez to snap them and then ull have to splint them.. but not to far down where its real thick cuz it mite crack them and resault in splints as well... jus look over that thread its got all the Q and A needed.... near the end theres a few pics where the author shows u and wants u to phantom it... make sure to let us know how it goes and the final resaults!!!

if u do it rite, this is how it should end up.. this branch would be like 2ft high with the lower buds not developed.. now my whole plant is a lil over 1 ft with every bud on the branch maturered.. jus keep bendin as it grows inbetween nodes so it opens the plant up...
