I'm about 9 or 10 days from flowering I was wondering about bending/pruning/topping techniques I could use that would not stress a plant too much since these are from some mids bagseed and i do not want a hermie, they're doing great I need to feed em more which I will tommorow morning I'm just wondering if while I have time should I cut some tops or what should I do?

Dont stress your plants out. Just take the bottom leaves off so its easyer to water your plants.
Just let it go so you dont fuck your plant up.

i wouldn't go cutting any tops now, its a bit too late imho, but i'd surely supercrop the hell out of her.. i have been doing supercropping on my last couple of grows, and i love the technique personally.. its simple to do, doesn't stress the plants too much, and i think it also increase me yields some by getting more light to lower bud sites..

to sc, just pick a spot that you want to do it on, pinch the stem between your thumb and forefinger, and gently squeeze your fingers together.. after you pinch them, they will either simply fall over on themselves, or all you have to do it give it a lil help going over.. according to where you pinch, you can make them lean anyway you'd like to.. and you can sc as many sites as you'd like to, and even sc the same branch at a lower spot if need be..

and i forgot to mention.. just leave them leaning over like that as silly as they look.. in a few hours or so, they will start growing back towards the light again and not look as simple.

ok i tried topping 4 the other day just to see and i was considering doing it but with everyone advising against it i will not do it, i will instead put the 4 i did it to if theyre females in the front and check them meticuliously or if i have plenty of fems( i need 9 out of the 19 i have now), ill let em go thanks for the input.

" the correct way to supercrop " find the appropriate spot on the stem by the height u wanna drop it down to. Take your thumb and pointer and give a nice squeeze till u hear a lil snap then rotate hand 90 degrees and pinch again. gently help bend the plant down to the level of the pinch . Stake the plant up if u need to to help support the weight of it. As long as the stem doesn't snap in two it will heal marijuana is a hardy plant that can take alot of abuse. I wouldn't do it past the 2nd week of flower personally.
