I'm confused, is monster cropping just taking a cutting from a flowering plant?
Cause that's not a very descriptive name. Is it just a funny name someone made up for taking a cutting from a flowering plant?
Forgive me, I'm getting old. These silly new terms for old things are confusing.
Yea theres two forms of monster cropping, monster cropping clones, which is like you said taking a clone from a flowering plant, then theres the other form of monster cropping that originated from the Emerald triangle/Mendocino area of California where you take a flowering plant, harvest only the bud off it, leave the fan leaves and everything else on it then re-veg it then reflower it again which is kind of what
@MIMedGrower was talking about
Indoors monster cropping isnt the greatest, they supposedly say you can yield up to 20% more... But ive never seen it!
But outdoors its an absolute beast! Anyone that grows outdoors and indoors should be doing that shit!
You have to time the season and grows just right, but i use to grow a harvest indoors and get 5-6ft plants indoors, take all the bud off them (you cant do a true flush on them cause you want the fan leaves to be in good health). After I harvested only the bud off the plants i would put them outside around mid April early May, and they would grow into MONSTERS!!! (Hence "Monster" cropping)
These things would be 12-18ft (18ft was the tallest one i ever grew but then i started topping them)
And they would be around 10-15ft around like a massive ass bush!
I use to get 5-8lbs per plant off those fuckers!
The only reason i dont do it anymore is because when my son was born i moved to the city to be closer to him, but in the city you cant have plants that big!
Those were literally the good old days!
That was 6-8 years ago too when lbs were 2500-3000
