Super crop or not ?
DrJointstarted grow question 6y ago
Hi everyone, she has been flipped to 12/12 exactly 3 weeks ago. I’m thinking about super cropping but I’m not sure if this is ok at this stage of flowering. Is it worth trying ? The middle of my plant is taller

In tegenstelling tot de meeste andere hoogproductieve methodes, zoals toppen en trainen, kan supercroppen niet haastig worden uitgevoerd.
FIM, toppen en LST kunnen worden ingezet als de planten twee sets echte bladeren hebben ontwikkeld, dus in de vroege vegetatieve fase.
Voor supercropping heb je iets meer geduld nodig.
Het is verstandig om te wachten tot week 3 of 4 van de vegetatieve fase voor je begint. Geef hem wat tijd om te ontwikkelen en laat de planten tenminste 30cm hoog worden.
Naarmate cannabisplanten overgaan van de vegetatieve fase naar de bloeiperiode, ondergaan ze hormonale veranderingen en supercropping zal niet effectief zijn in de bloei.
Net als bij toppen, wordt de auxine verdeling van de plant gemanipuleerd, zodat de plant verward raakt en niet meer weet wat de hoofdsteel is.
Zodra cannabis de bloeiperiode begint, zal de energie worden gefocust op de productie van bloemen en de scheuten zullen niet langer buigzaam genoeg zijn om te kunnen supercroppen.
Laat supercroppen is dus niet echt een rendabele optie.
Stevige takken zullen breken en stress is wel het allerlaatste wat vrouwelijke cannabisplanten nodig hebben tijdens de bloeiperiode.
Onthoud dus dat supercropping het beste kan worden toegepast tijdens week 3-4 van de vegetatieve fase.
Veel succes met de verdere groei!👌🌱

4F1M6,
Staying friendly costs nothing. If you can support what you know with "quotes" from the internet, I find that adds value. There are many people who say something because they think it's right, just because they do it that way. But then people get their plants into trouble, and they don't care. When I try to help people here, I prefer to share information that I've learned myself and that I still check on various growing sites online. If there's a question I can't find an answer to at all, I won't respond to that either. This is my way, so please leave your comment, but leave your unnecessary remark as it is. By the way, the plant is already 19 weeks old, of which 3 weeks in the flowering stage, if I'm not mistaken. So I hope you're providing good information.

This early into flower ur more than safe to supercrop. I'm saying this from hands on experience not a copy and pasted quote from the internet. Tenderize the point of the branch that u intend to super crop. By moistening ur fingers and gently squeezing the branch and rolling it between ur fingers. Once it feels tender gently bend it over to the desired angle. The plant will turn up the branch within a few hours to a couple days. Your plant is still in the developmental stage. Creating bud sites and starting structre. In no way will it hurt ur bud production doing it this early.

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

A tiny problem with size!So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)Week 8

When to harvest?I’m not sure when to harvest? The buds don’t seems to be getting any bigger. It’s my first grow. I’m starting to get yellowing leaves at the bottom of my plants, the buds are getting frost, but under a microscope the trichomes are all clear there’s no trace of orange.

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Plants too tall in back row.The plant's in the back row are too tall.
We cut the tops of the trellis boxes off about 18 inches.
Even with LST I still think they're too tall.
With the plants in pre-flowering (10 days)
should we cut the top of the plants off or is this a bad choice?
What do you recommend?Week 14
