Good luck with your first hydro grow. Please post pix & keep us posted. I wanna see what you can indoors. We're all open to new ideas if it'll grow better.:weed:

I went ahead and supercropped a plant that I have in veg. I'm giving her a few weeks (waiting for her clones to show vertical growth) and then she's going into flower.

I think I like this super cropping better than LST. trying them down is a pain in the ass, easier to pinch and break into place. I'm glad I tried it........

when cant you take the lower branches off a plant?
who says you cant... but... why wouldnt you want them to grow up? I have lower branches that are taller than the tallest before.. I also like to use the lowers for clones.... all you need is the dna....

Who said you couldnt again?

sure if you want. You could also harvest the tops portion of the plants and then leave the bottom for another week or so... let them fatten up some... It works for me...

I hope i wont have this problem anymore once i get my 600 watt HPS

Right now its what i have to do with the 400...

Good luck

Edit: Worst case you get some excellent hash or canna butter.

dont worry too much... just bend it down and tie it down.. it will be fine.. Either way.
