Hello.. Hope you are well.. Dont panic.. She will b fine.. I regularly pinch the stem as to loosen the fibres and bend over flat exactly like wot u av done and during flowering.. U'll b surprised how strong these plants can b.. Its a gud technique for tops that get 2 close 2 light.. U'll alson notice at the bend u will get a knuckle(bulge) from the damage but this is fine and considered a stress technique.. Stay safe n gud luck wit end results.. 👍

it should be ok as long as it's not completely cut off from being able to uptake water and nutrients . I had one that was split down the stalk where it attaches to the base.I taped it up with electrical tape and she lived. their pretty resilient hemp is.

Hi mate!
That is one form of high stress training and its called supercropping! Good technique and I use it myself too when needed.
Give enough support for that cropped top so it wont snap by accident or anything.
I've read that supercropped stems tend to grow bigger buds than the ones not but I haven't been paying that much attention to be honest 😆 👌

Flowering temperature and light strength?The strain I'm growing can get hues of purple and blue if temps low.
I don't have a AC just fresh air in. If I drop the light % 100% - 75% my temp drops from 77 to 71.
last week before harvest is it best to keep lights full or drop them and get those girls changing colours?

Should I trim my flower?Firstly I want bud that is as potent as possible. Secondly I want a big yield. I have heard that trimming will direct energy to buds. Is trimming something I should do right now, judging by how it looks? Or should I just let it grow? I have plenty of space, so that's not an issueWeek 3

SilverSol vs Colloidal Silver 4 Feminization Of Autos?Question: are there any differences in structured silver solutions like SilverSol "SS" vs regular silver like Colloidal Silver "CS" for feminization?
Both are interchangeable for most purposes. It seems SS has more active ions, would that be a bonus?
They said SS 10ppm = CS 50ppm

Training options?Almost at the end of week 2 flower. Plants are healthy. My question is, what training is needed to get the most out of them? When should I “lollipop” them or what should I do to maximize these results. I’ve been holding off on trimming lower branches. Hoping to reach the top.
