Im wondering how much this would yeild if i was to flower it now
its under a 400w MH and will be going under a 400W hps for flower im a first time grower and need the input bad so thank you all the first 2 pics are the ones im wondering about the rest of the pics are just my other random plants.
well all of those i wanna flower
Heres the rest.
mge420 you can shoot for the max yield on the plants if you bend them. this was mine 1 plant
nice mobay that looks fucking brilliant for one plant how did ya bend them did ya tie them down like i think i might try something like that any advice ya can give me will be greatly apreciated:)
whats up buster the way i did it was tied off the middle of the plant and anchored her to the wall. i then bent the plant to the left slowly til i heard a snap. anchored the top down to the floor then i taped the snapped part. within a week you will see the new sites taking over as the main cola, growing bigger each day. i had 17 colas growing as the main cola , it was amazing as this was my 1st grow ever. that plant was the runt of the litter. so to max out your yeild bend and tie down the plant. i didnt take clones off of her cause big bud is 1 of the hardest almost impossible to clone. when u bend the plant to the left remeber to have her go sideways not facing the floor. sideways
cheers mobay for that bif of info i will try that when mine gets big enuff
nice one cheers m8 :)
here is a pic so you will know how to buster.
How smart is it to snap your plant in half?
just pinch the stems and bend them. the part where you pinch and soften becomes hard as a rock within a few days. they can even break to a degree and live. I saw it done on a video.
like i said tadaa it wasnt my intent to snap the plant in half, but i wrote what i wrote so when someone does bend the plant and they hear a snap they wouldnt freak out. jusst look at the picture in post # 6 and thats the way to do it , but if you do hear a snap tape it and continue with your grow. an OSG ( old school grower ) told me that and i didnt question that person about it and it turned out excellent.
My point is that the overall stress of snapping your plant in half, whether it lives or dies, is going to hinder your yield so much you would have been better off not even bending it. I would slowly train it, bending it a little more every couple days instead of doing it all at once. And I would only do this if you don't have sufficient light.Quote:

How big was it when you started to flower it???
it is called supercropping, you get the plant were you want to bend it and rub the stem between your finger and thumb until it starts to bruise then bend thew plant to the desired position and thats you
This is my plant i bent it when it was young
I like to twist it slowly back and forth which causes less damage.
