Super Crop HELP!?!

[plntlover]

Hi guys,

I did my first super crop yesterday and I think I may have stuffed it up... I didn't completely snap any of the stems or anything, but the leaves have all gone dark green and wilted - have I stuffed it up completely???

Sorry too be a dick but why didn't you just tie them down? Same result but no risk. That branch looks like you snapped it and it can't transport nutrition to the bud site, best thing to do when you snap a branch is to tape it up, I use matchsticks as splints, but you can just take it but support helps. Yeah I know I hate it when someone gets s bright idea right after I screw up and trust me it's happened. Try the tape and maybe a seaweed foliar spray, but it doesn't look good.

I did it two days ago, I've read that they heal it you look after them so hopefully it will be alright!

You squeezed too hard bro. That branch looks like it's toast. Plus, redeyed is right. Most plants respond really well to low stress training (tying them down). Supercropping is just torture..

At this point should I cut the branch or let it heal...?

If it didn't bounce back by now, it's not going to.

yeah there is a definite technique and done right I believe is beneficial. But those leaves are gone

Next time just pinch and roll the stem between your thumb and index finger. You will feel the walls crush a little. The stem will bend over, but will show recovery signs within a few hours if you do it right. Live and learn.

So at this point should I cut off the branch or splint it and hope it recovers?

It's dead bro.

Super cropping is more for canopy management, and supercropping a flowering plant is more harm the good just my opinion.

Just focus on keepin it healthy
