BruceBlackstarted grow question 6y ago
Heyaa, so one the girls was growing too fast(high) and I've decided to bend it over and break the main stem a bit to make it grow in horizontal
What do you think? I'm I insane?? Did I fuck it up XD Thanks

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 😆 👌

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

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.

Is she ready for harvest? Or what is my next step?Is she ready for harvest? I’m thinking no, but close and I should check her every day.
Yes, my pathetic 1st attempt growing, & I respect the advice given to me to give up & start over, I want to finish to harvest for the learning experience of the whole process.

Accidental cloning?I did something stupid today call it a learning curve. But I trimmed a few fan leaves to open up for flowering and wasn’t looking and cut of a bud site. I put it in some soil with some water. Will that take root? Is that an accidental cloning?

Random Stoned Thoughts!!!!!Here is one of the 1st leaves from the GSCE's life "Scars" and all. Has anyone thought about or actually purposefully let some of the 1st growth grow til harvest as kind of a timeline to look back and see what the plant has eventually overcome? Thanks for feeding my high thoughts

When to train a plant / new growth GG #4 cloneCouple things. Is it time to start thinking about training this plant? Also I have not seen it produce these little bits at the end here - maybe just very early stage of leaf growth i personally have never seen before but looks different. An ingrown leaf? Is that a thing?

What would you do?I have 4 plants, two autos (one cream one tangerine dream) and two photo period (strawberry cough). I can put two in an indoor tent and the other two will go outside (all in fabric pots). What plants would you put where? Tent is small and can handle only two plants. Thanks!Plant. Other
