Green Goblin Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Crushing the stems to slow the plant growth down in the first 3 or 4 weeks of flowering. Peace, GG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyboy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I used to do it but noticed that they didnt stay at same angle after pinching used to add weights a pain ! In the end i drilled 6 holes around the rim of pots and use light training wire to pull down can quickly adjust next day up or down or later on This is low stress traing - i have never pinched or snapped one since Used thicker stuff once disaster - too heavy - pulled branch down For the odd shooter bud i tie to nearest cain and recycle all the wire ! Each to there own - Im short of height so training is critical ! hb B) Edited April 5, 2009 by heyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustrianToker Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Really nice looking plants on the top there! Trying supercropping myself. I'm 3,5 weeks into flower and decided to bend one the the main colas, cause it was getting close to the lightbulb and blocking out light of plants directly behind it. Really wonder how this will influence the growth. I attached a string from the top to support it. Cheers, AT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesweedmore Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 thanks mate. For example,if my plants are too tall for my tent @ 6.week of flowering, can i still do this ? thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedio Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 You can do it obviously. But it's going to take away energy from the buds temporarily. It's a trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
