Right on good idea!
So simple yet so perfect!
Plants are looking fantastic @Pawsfodocaws !!
Thanks @Pigeonman they are doing great so far!
Either way we love the pics Bro
Hey thanks man, I appreciate it!!!

I agree, thatās one hell of a price. I would love to roll and sell them. Unfortunately a license here is required. Iām not looking for that trouble . I think Iāll have what you suggested tonight
Ok so now I have a question for those of you growers that bend and pinch stemsā¦ I donāt know the exact term. I was watering the plants earlier and felt the top of a nug 2 inches away from my 600 watt hps lamp. This one and another have grown past the lamp. The lamp is maxed out. So I thought ehh wth. I bent the stems over and didnāt snap them, Iāve done this on accident before and they developed knuckles. Will it impede the bud formation from bend up? Did I mess them up? Hope not. They were getting fried. So I figured it was worth a shot.
BRO
Iāve been doing it to the plants in my current run ā¦soooo much ā¦they recover over night .Iād bend them a little more almost to a 90 ā¦for the ones that canāt pick themselves up I made a fancy clip that supports them Iāll post pics tomorrow around dinner time !
āāāyouāll notice a knuckle forming at the bend; this is a good thing as itās a sign of healing and can help strengthen the stem. This process is similar to the way we build muscle in which our bodies work to repair damaged muscle fibers. By damaging the plant, you are triggering its defense mechanism and promoting increased nutrient uptake as it works to repair the damage. This stress increases the plantās ability to deliver nutrients to the top nodes on that branch, while opening the lower branches to more light.ā""
Right on, thank you for that information bud!
100% What Rabeats saidā¦
Even though i havenāt done that in flowering, i do it throughout the veg stage to maintain the canopy and strengthen the stems, the plant comes back stronger than ever
Awesome no more burnt tips. Or more burn
Looking good Paws!
Thanks man!
If you Google āsuper croppingā youāll get a bunch of results. Many folks roll the stem between their thumb and fingers until it crunches a bit, so they can flop the branch without snapping it.
Theyāre looking happy as hell!
Right on thatās kind of what I thought it was. I just bent it gently until it wanted to go over and a put a slight pinch into it. And it bent over. Worked well. They grew too tall. I canāt raise the light anymore. And I donāt have my extension for my tent installed ATM. thanks everyone Iām glad I didnāt mess em up. Iām lit as hell, and had a half thought of remembering seeing it done. So I did it. Glad it was a good move.
Thanks man! Iāll look more into it. They are growing really well. Vigorously stacking nuggage and very thirsty lately. Lots of frost happening. Looking forward to a nice haul.
Looks great. I love bending. I get all the benefits of topping without the stunting
You wonāt have any problems with what you described
Right on thatās good. Currently itās just a waiting game and watering them. I hope the buds swell like last time. It was freaking gorgeous the fade they throw as well, I forget when it happens but it will throw an awesome fade. The mac1 will as well. I canāt see the one in the back that well. But I have a small one in the front that is covered in frost. Double or more than what is on the fritter. It looks like you could take lines off the mac1ā¦
I just got the apple fritter. My buddy said itās better than wedding cake. Got to get the snips into some vermiculite.
How is the Mac?
