Had a plant super strech in veg

So I had I plant that I didn’t have quite enough light room for so it got lanky af for 3 nodes haven’t done any training to this point but want to flip this weekend. It’s almost 3’ from the soil. Should I just anchor down to a 90° or as close as possible and go with that. Thanks

Get some bambo stakes and start pining her down with lst because shes going to double in size going into flower

Can’t I just use thick training wire to train it down at like a 90° or more?

Yes you can. You’ll probably want to give a week to recover before flip because super cropping can be really hard on them if your cropping enough of them.

Super cropping? Low stress training is by definition low stress isn’t super cropping a very high stress way of training. Idk I guess I’m confused by your comment.

If you bend a plant stem at a 90° angle it’s called supercropping

Thanks for clarifying. When you mentioned super cropping fimming jumped into my head. Also didn’t realize that super cropping was hst. I love it when things get pointed out. It triggers me to research something and find out on my own.lol I also have issues with blindly listening to anyone. Seriously thanks man

That was the same for me even I first showed up :metal:

Lol so this just went horribly wrong I think.



Should I stake back up right or leave it tied how it is and wait?

That’s a fair looking super crop. I would tie her branch down so it doesn’t stand back up and keep her right there.

Ok cool. When I felt that small snap it scared me. Ok I can handle fair.lol. So there is good don’t move it down to a precise 90° or leave fair enough alone? Thanks again. I think I’m going to start a journal for the 4 plants goung to flower and then the 2 autos I’m gonna start.

It is tied just took a pick of the bend

Just tie it down so she don’t try to stand back up… She looks fine… :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

If you need more space you can go deeper, just be careful

Yea thats why you dont do 90° angles after about 3 weeks of growth now you NEED supports

Thanks I’m happy where it is. It was necessary for this plant second grow bad planning started a couple weeks to early so ran out of light space oh well another took learned and tried successfully so far. Having to stake it doesn’t bother me so much
