HST pinch/snap method?

ChrissyNstarted grow question 3 years ago

I want to try the pinch/snap HST method on this plant but she's in my tent with multiple other plants so my concern is stressing her too much and turning her into a hermaphrodite. Has anyone tried this method before and what do you recommend?

Hi-did you too her yet? I would top the lady first. IMO, she doesn’t look big enough for HST yet. I do it all the time when they get way too big and are almost touching the lights—- no herms yet! Knock on wood! It’s a three step process—- defoliate near the bend point, Kushman chiropractic at the bend (google it—twisting the branch), pinch hard and bend. It will immediately try and bend back up! So gently push down the next few days! Good luck! ✌️🏻💚🌿✌️🏻

I agree with the guy that said top it first. If you do decide to snap it instead I would tie it down to the top of the pot to stop it popping back up again. All depends on what you are trying to achieve and how many heads you want on the plant. I have created way too many main heads before and the canopy ended up too packed.

Experimentation is the best way to learn- might as well try it out. Photoperiods are pretty resilient- I’d do it 😜🌱

How can I make this better?How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.
