Grim's first Grow !

[The Grim Reefer]

Yeah I was going to ask you about supercropping especially when you said you could make a short ak-47 with a sold bud all the way up.

so you're basically saying supercropping will increase bud sites simply by making the stem thicker and stronger?

care to explain how this works in a little further detail?

omg, sorry but I just went in there to twist and bend one of them. I must say that afterwards, my fingers smelled of maple syrup. *licks lips*

btw, pics will be up shortly for you.

if you go to quick you can cause to much stress or crack the stem which is fixable. It is best to scar them up a bit and wait a few days till the next round.
If they do crack get a peice of dental floss and figure eight it like a ballerinas leg.

Awesome. Every 2-3 days I'll start twisting them/bending them like I did tonight. They're still pretty pliable, they feel like rubber but the stems aren't effected by the force of the fan in the least.

I wonder what kind of results I would get by supercropping/tying them down..

[karmaxul]

I used to get them, when I had many to experiment with, to the point that on a 8 inch plant I could get the top to spin like 10 times each direction after a long warm up. I bent it into two circles and pushed them down to the soil so it was an inch high. I had the plant stand back straight up ten seconds later.

I used to peirce the stems with grow rocks to after they beefed up a bit. Just looked cool basically

I have been tempted 2 try this but i am always woried about doing to much damage. I have a bagseed that doesnt look 2 well so i might experiment with that.
I have a cutting that has been FIMed it started as an experiment and has turned out like a bush,. So no main cola 4 me but it will be interesting 2 c how it goes, i already have lots of preflowers so watch out 4 a new thread.
I'll take some pics when i get round 2 it, i keep testing the buds i have growing now so it may take a while.

Picture time!

Here's my sativa heavy plant:

Aaand here's droopy:

[karmaxul]

god damn shes getting big. not sure thats a sativa the fingers are a bit wide. i would wait to water till you can pick that pot up using one hand and three fingers. misting the top of the soil is cool as the surface roots need some moisture but she is still wet on the bottom. shell perch up. the color is looking nice. got any air holes on the bottom big enough to put a finger in and see how wet it is down there?

Have you sexed them yet? I would look back but I am half asleep. You may want to start trimming the one you are going to make a mother. If you dont want a giant plant you may want to take the two top fan leaves off of the top. The ones that are real small, I mean the size of your baby toe nail or smaller. But just the fan leaves at the stem leaving the growth. Maybe just one then wait a couple days then another so she doesnt loose to much fluid. She will bush out a bit. If you want to have more sites on the lower branches for clones they will need light. I would take off for now just one big fan leaf blocking light the most light to the lower branches.
