Anybody done this? I got some Lavs 2.5 weeks into flower and they streched too much for me. Would supercroppin the tops screwem up?

I'll use the FIM tech... then take the split and stretch each side..I had to do this on my last run of WW..I've never had a really big crop of WW only just enough. The first pic is of a typical WW look, at least of what I have. The second pic shows that I'll get a bigger yield this time. Good luck

Thanks alot Folks! Its done! These are all excelent tekneeks. I use strog, fim'en, and supercropin in veg regularly. In flower I'v only lst'd tho. I strog in flower soon as I putem in. Rite away I start pullinem down. Its realy good to know that supercropin dose the trik in flower too! Thanks and Blessins!
do LST, no cracking your stems at this point, it will stunt them HEAVILY and flowering times are going to be extended more than you would like.
I have smashed and bent the hell out of em in heavy flower and it seems to respond fantastically. Fattens up the buds on that branch for sure. I think it may even warrant doing even if the plant hasn't stretched mucho.
I've never noticed any stunting, smokey. Maybe it's a strain dependent thing. (shrug)

Do you think super cropping helps the bud or plant? My plants are fine with height. They seem like no stretching at all. Just wanting them to fatten up and pack on more triches.

It hurts the plant, but in no time it will heal up with a big hard knuckle.
The buds on that branch start fattening up and try to cola.

So would it be good for me to do it? Because I got a lst setup.

Honestly I use super cropping as one tool in the arsenal. Right tool for the right job I guess. The later in flower I get the less apt I'd be to using super cropping. LST works just fine. Yes there is damage to the stem/branch/stalk and does take a bit to heal but the plant will. By the end of the stretch you're plants should be all set to finish up without any real training except maybe a little tweak here or there and if anything probably just need a little support to help hold the weight.TheOneWill said:

I mean they get close to the glass where the lights are, but I can pull them back down.

Heh heh...I know you've seen me chat about my old 4800 watt total 600w Lumatek setup up...so no not 1000's. I had 6' ceilings and minimum distance from hood to top was about 18". The top you see sticking out from the canopy actually grew right in between 2 hoods.clowntown said:
Honestly...no way could I have grown in that space with 1000's effectively unless a massive SOG grow...and no thanx due to the required numbers (plants in flower) and moms necessary (space to maintain em and do the cloning).
A key word here is was...no indoor setup anymore and just playing with few girls outside...pretty much done with canna for a few years while I focus on school.
Does that answer it?
