Hi all
I stumbled upon monster cropping - taking cuttings from a flowering plant - due to unfortunate circumstances and I love it. If you've never done it - it'cool. The plants regerate themselves and they grow all deformed for the first few weeks. The leaves dont look typical. Then the plants start to grow normal after a few weeks. I cant tell if theres any advatage yield wise. But what i like about it is that it creates multiple tops without any help. I have a 4 week old monster cropped clone right now that 6" tall and it already has 6 tops. So in the past I vegged monster cropped clones for 5 or 6 weeks. The regeneration process seems to make everything take a little longer. The plant finalky looks "normal" and then i flip it.
My question is what if I flip the plant early - before the regeneration process is completed? What if I flip it while it still has the "funny" leaves?
Im going to try one day as I'm super curious to what it would do. I just wanted to see if anyone did it before or if they had a prediction.
Thanks in advance
Will

I can't answer your question but the reason I don't like monster cropping is that it's resulted in loads and loads of small buds which are an absolute nightmare to trim

the funkiness wont go away but it will eventually stop. gonna trim them all off anyways so i wouldnt worry about it.

these were all accidentally monstercropped, long story..... worked out in my favor. about week 3+ right now.

If you throw them into bud during a reveg with funny leaves, they make funny buds. The plant is confused.

This year we had a big problem. I made a cross about 5 or 6 years ago. I've done about 175 to 200 crosses so far, but this one is my favorite. I never released it. My son, exwife and I keep it.my sons plant wouldn't clone this year, and my ex lost hers while she was working in humboldt. I had to take my one copy that was budding outdoors, pull it inside. It's a mess. I will use it for a mother. I always bud them much later when they return to about normal, otherwise I'll get a bunch of weird popcorn shit.

That weird popcorn shit is exactly what connoisseurs should be breeding for, not dense nugs.

The more trichomes exposed to sunlight - the more potent.


I wonder how different the high would be of a monstercropped popcorned plant vs a regularly grown one?
