Super cropping works great. Pinch the stalk break the cell wall and bend it over. Itll for a nice hard spot/knuckle there and make some nice branching for them heavy buds

Im a Rough bugger, ill crush the stems with my thumb and finger to soften the stem up and bend the tips towards the ground, after heavily bending the plant flat, ill give them a strong potassium silicate water after every bending , to strengthen those stems in that position, ill keep repeating till early flower, i also heavily defoliate every fan leaf with a stalk, starting early veg, my plants dont get much taller than 50 cm when finished 3 weeks veg, but have 2cm branches, often buds get as big as my arm, as in my avatar photo. i used to do flood and drain with hydroton, got lazy now i just use potting mix which i recycle for 5 or so grows, i use kelp powder very heavily, a tablespoon every 10 litres every 3rd water.
of course only on strong vigorous plants with a strong fast moving root system and plenty of light. (500 watts a meter give or take) 4-6 plants a meter. Ill use P K mid flower and keep nitrogen levels low, adding some cal/mag mid flower.

Good way to double yields when done properly. There is a certain time and place for this method, done wrong is only adding unnecessary stress and unplanned set backs. Know your growing room and strain. Never apply this method with any signs of deficiencies. It will only confuse you. Keep it simple.

Yes. I’ve done that clothes pin thing also and learned a big lesson on (organic materials) like “wooden clips”. Wood tends to either rot or be treated with some unknown chemicals that I’m sure will leak into my reservoir to dance with my PH.

This one time around 2010 i ran this NYC sour. Things went excellent, around then end of week 2 veg. I decided to remove some unneeded foliage, top them..... like always, but this time the next morning nothing?!?! No response, usually within hours they bend towards the light. That night it was a horror show.. all wilted all shocked to the point harvest was jeopardized. After 4 days of hell, and zero uptake of H20 and nutrient I just pulled them. By this time my clones had rooted and I did no training, all but one ( I pulled 7 leaves and threw her into shock but recovered well). All new strains I stress test. If they don’t recover overnight I pull back and take it very slowly 1-2 leaves every other day.

Been growing bushy bud for 7 years with white LEDs and COBsIn my next grow i want to train my plants, not sure if i want to do LST or timing.
Normaly i do SOG, but since i juse leds, my plants are less bushy, so i have to make them more bushy
I want the fast way,i like efficence))
Which way do you grow them / train them.
How long do you veg(rootet Clone to 12/12) ?
Do you work with clones or seeds?
I Think i gave my Last grow a bit to much light, i had almost no stretch, but big fat and hard stems, almost no side branches, my og got NO sides at all.
Realy realy nice buds(best looking buds IAM ever hade, fuck the Marketing pics from most companys
I juse samung(3500k) double row strips(24) total 1700+ 561lm leds on 1m2
I thought some cheep les strips in RED 660nm with a bit blue (30watt) i Think of adding These.

Could move light up as leds can keep em looking squished. Some strains are single cola period. Seeds here and small containers. Tie to rim of container. Mine are all in 5 quarts of mix in 1 1/2 gallon trash baskets. Everything usually topped 10 days before moving to flower in perpetual tent.

What are some of the single cola strain names?
So I can avoid. I want to get maximum yield . Thanks!
Iam growing with led for a year now. Bevor hps,
And the most strains i have , i have grown under hps bevor led.
Last grow i had 5 diffrent strains in my box, and all of them made no or realy little side branches.
