I am about to start another vertical grow and have some questions about super cropping.
I am familiar with super cropping as I use it for height control when needed.
The question I have is where is the best place on the plant to crop. To explain a bit more, I will be vegging clones after first transplant for up to 6 + weeks, at which time I will be cutting back stems, do some defo and want to do some super cropping. I would normally do lite stress training to get the branches horizontal, but thinking of using SC at one or two places depending on which area give me the best response.
Which do you think will give me the best response?
This one would be SC at the red points. Will that send energy to the buds beyond the SC point or,
Again SC at the red points, will cause higher energy to flow to the SC point thereby giving the nodes coming up the branch causing it to produce more.
Here are a couple that have been SC for height control. What I am seeing here is that the buds below the SC are getting large compared to the branches that were not SC. But the bud above the SC as you can see is fat also.
This is a nice bud but the individual nugs are not near the size of the SC branches.
This has been on my mind awhile and just want to know what part of the branch is the best place to SC, right off the main stem or towards the end to the branch?
Thanks
