bending to increase during flowering

[two4toohi]

Does bending tops during flowering increase yield or shoud it only be done in veggie mode? I broke one top doing this :(

I have found that almost all of those, even in flowering, seem to come back. Most people do the bending in the veg stage but often nature chooses to bend some of them without our help. Yes it will be thicker and may slow down the harvest time a little but that is just one of those things that will happen when you grow. I would not be concerned. Just watch the Trichs to make sure of the correct harvest time especially with this lady that ha "bent" as it may take a little longer.

It seems to works for me.... I have limited space for my indoor grow, and bending the plant over during veg stage, definately allows more light to get to the lower levels. Keep your light adjusted, and you'll soon be creating lots more little babies buds, who'll hopefully grow up to be big baby buds....The sea of green, so to speak:rasta: ......ALTHOUGH WE ALL LIKE THOSE SUPER LONG BIG FAT BUDS NOW DON'T WE????..............I know I do!!
