This 1's for Mama!

Hell's Bells! Flowering Stretch Much!? Sheesh 6 inches in 1 week! My goodness. I guess she was just powering up over the last 2 weeks to blast off this 3rd week of flowering! I really didn't expect this burst of growth since she'd already gone through 2 weeks of flowering, so I decided I'd better get creative and figure out how to keep her on a level with other plants in the tent. I like to think of this training technique as the " Bend and Snap" but HST, Super cropping whatever you'd like to call it works. Basically I just pinched and pinched her main stem until it was weakened and then slowly bent it over until it was nearly a 90 degree angle. I then propped the bend up with a stick and a clothes pin so it wouldn't snap or minimal breakage. So far the plant handled it like a champ..no damaged or dying leaves and all happy bud sites. Since this one did not "snap" I will need to keep her tied down so she doesn't try to just spring up straight again. All in all a very successful week, excellent growth, happy leaves and bud sites, perfect high stress training (even though i did plan for the plant to be grown in a more natural pattern.), and a little bit of defoliation of those crazy big fan leaves she's had. Happy growing everyone. ✌️
