When and how to pinch the tip of the plants ?? help !!

When it comes to growing, it's very easy to try and invision sugar plum faeries hovering around perfect sinsimilla. The quarantine of the female from male counterparts is like breathing; it should come natural. Sounds easy, yes? Mediocre harvests are natural. But we, as growers, have to put that extra zest into growing and make a:

"Dr. Frankenstein's monster plant!"

Pinching, Fming, LST, Sea of Green, etc. etc., are great ways of increasing yields and potency!

This is the great aspect of growing!!! So many different ways we can all experience to achieving the most perfect plant God EVER created!

Enjoy your next growing experience! And don't forget to say, "High!" to your plants. The c02 boost never harms...

[quote="LiveForMusic182, post: 1502873, member: 105805] Now if you are talking about supercropping...that has nothing to do with the top. Supercropping is when you do pressure points on parts of the branches...sending a rush of nutrients up in that branch..making the branch stronger..and theoretically this gives you bigger buds. All you do is squeeze between two internodes..essentially you just want to hurt your plant..then you'll notice a few days later...the same spot you pinched..will be hard as a rock. You will see what i mean I dont know if it gives you bigger buds...but a stronger plant thats for sure.[/quote]

LiveforMusic182 explained what supercropping is and let me elaborate a bit more on it...I use supercropping for a few different reasons, I pinch the tallest branches to slow them down during stretch and allow the shorter ones to catch up in hopes to maximize/equalize the amount of plant that receives light which in turn gives you much larger buds. It also makes your plants much more vigorous. Some of my stalks/stems have 1/2 dozen or more pinches to them and for the extra few days I MIGHT add to my grow I'll be rewarded with a much larger yield and in my mind its 2 or 3 days extra that I'll gladly add every time and now I'll show you the results of supercropping. Look at the 1st photo and in-between the mustache on my tattoo and you'll see the line/knob in the stem from when I pinched it, in the 2nd one look at the photo with scissors that still have the orange guard on the jaws and see the pinched spot its pointing to and in the 3rd just look at the buds on the plant, the proof is in the picture.

Very nice visuals ^ Thats a very even plant...thats the goal.
