supercropping query

  1. hi all just wonderin if anyone has tried pinching the full length of a branch instead of one spot and bending

     
  2. I haven't tried it to much but a friend suggested rolling the stem between fingers until you feel the inside loosen up, going down the whole stem. I've done it to one branch and it didn't harm it

  3. Why? The point of super cropping is to bend the branch not damage as many cell walls as possible.
     
  4. For what I'm talking about, we were discussing ways to increase terpenes through stress. After playing with simply bending and breaking, watching the result of the healing and the production on that branch compared to other left alone.

    So my current vegging plant I'm running more experiments on to see how far things can be taken and the results they produce.

    Shit is fun, only way to truly learn the "right way/ your own way" is to fuck up first and learn. Hopefully something works and you have expanded your knowledge :)

  5. There is a certain foliar spray that triggers the plants defense mechanism and beefs up terpene production with no stress to the plant. I cant remember the name right now but if you search around the site you'll find it.
