Super Cropping | Why & How?
I did a search and notice we don't have a good post for super cropping, so i decided to make one. Hope it helps someone!
Super cropping is a technique that growers can perform during vegetive and early flower stage of plant life.
This is a great technique to perform, if you notice that a branch is stretching a lot more than other branches.
By super cropping the tall branch, you essentially bend the branch at a certain angel with force to break it, but you don't want to break it in a way that would separate from the rest of the branch. When you start bending it and it gets to an certain angel, you will hear a cracking sound if you focus and listen. Past this point with a bit more force the branch will break and drop side ways.
At this time you just want to let t sit on top of the other branches.
As you can see in the above picture a branch is broken side ways but it is still held by the rest of the branch. This puts the plant in a overdrive and the plant would transfer additional sugars to repair it self. With in few days you will notice that the top of the cola will start to go upwards towards the light again.
In addition you will also notice a big knuckle is formed on the spot that the plant was super cropped. Remember above i mentioned that the plant goes into a overdrive and transfers additional sugars to this particular branch. This allows the branch to be fully strong again.
Thanks for the read and Happy Friday!
