So I supercropped her yesterday and about 3 branches were open from the bend points so I taped them up but it looks like 2 of my leaves are dying plz tell me what's up thx

Looks good. Get that tape off there and prune off the 2 big dying leaves.

Next time go gentler so you don't actually break the stem's exterior. ;)

What does that mean to "prune"? I know it's cutting the plant but is it a certain way of doing it or basically take off what's dead stuff however i want? Like the whole top/fim thing

I thought I was being gentle she was putting up a fight lol it was not woody or did I hear a snap noise like I read and watched on YouTube my branches were like celery but of course smaller I heard a noise from putting pressure but it didn't stay down so I figured it wasn't broken enough but how long til I can switch to flower it's week 3 today and I cropped her yesterday I was thinking 1week on week 4

You just need a pair of scissors snip snip...

I would wait before putting her in flower, you want to see some recovery from the supercropping, a little more growth on the parts that are yet to turn up towards the light.

Did you just pinch, or pinch and bend? Try just pinching on a plant that young.

Lol I pinched and bended it it wouldn't stay down so I twisted back and forth between my fingers I seen that in a YouTube video

Should I wait for her to recover or should I do it now?

The maturity of the plant and stems you're trying to supercrop really makes a huge difference here. EG, male Skunk #1, I have to get down really hard to get his ass supercropped, and even then, even when I break through the stem, he rights it back up, grow a knot over the spot where I bent him and he's back growing into the light. Fucker.

I like the Indian burn technique over the pinch and bend. A lot less breakage. Plants that have never been topped will fight to stay apically dominant IME.

 

[Seamaiden]

I know, I'm gonna have to whack him.

 

[MacE2W]

Hey guys plz lmk if u would do something different I wanna try a little bit of every1s techniques

 

[MacE2W]

So how exactly do I remove dead leaves I know I can't just pull them off

 

[Seamaiden]

I pinch them off with my fingernail. What you don't want to do is leave a raggedy wound. If you don't have fingernails, clip with scissors.

The only brand new sharp items I have are box cutters would that be good enough?

 

[Seamaiden]

Yeah, sure. Just don't cut yourself. :)
