I’m waiting to cut the 4 plants I have in my tent but I’ve also got 4 starts in Solo cups that were gifted from my son. 2 caramel cream and 2 bbc gelonade from Humboldt seed. I would like a mentor and help learning how and when to supercrop. Is anyone interested?

If you think I can help, just ask and I’ll do my best to help. ![]()
Do you top them and crop them?
I don’t always top them, but I’m always supercropping branches…
And I also learned a lot from Kyle Kushman.
How early do you start manipulating and bending? I heard someone or read, do you bend and strain till the beaches crack? Do you also do that with the main stalk? Seems nerve racking like there is a point of no return.
Give the YouTube link a watch it’s only 10 minutes but explains and shows a lot
I do it to any branches all the times, and often I do it on the main stem.
The video @DanB left is very informative ![]()
Was a video I found after watching the podcast Garden talk with MrGrowit. He had Kyle Kushnan on and they were talking about super cropping and how it got started an with the space needed to do it I couldn’t help myself but look Kyle up to learn more.
Well, I feel like the old man in the room. But I love history and somebody’s gotta do the history lesson. Those are you that already know sorry for wasting your time.
Kyle is An old time pre legalization happened celebrity for cannabis. He wrote a column for high times back in the day, when high times Was the authority and the Gucci of all things cannabis. Kinda like Playboy back in the day, but that’s another story.
Anyway, he was the breeder and disseminator of the original strawberry cough strain that was popular with the cannabis world.
He has not been in the scene for quite some time, until a few years ago he did a deal with homegrown. They are a competing bank, so I won’t get into That.
It’s like not knowing who Hans solo is and saying you a fan…
Should I remove the YouTube link for super cropping due to the channel being sponsored by a competitor seed bank?
I wouldn’t worry about it, but I’m not a Mod ![]()

Ha ditto. ![]()
He did that that canna-chiropractic stuff ages ago. Long before the other bank existed.
I saw from above you getting the mod talk. Don’t take it personal. We all get the mod talk at first. For me it was the dang cursing. I got a potty mouth…
Love your input and participation. Keep it coming gromie.
Yeah lol I’m not just not wanting that again within 2weeks
… But this is another topic I am very interested in and am trying myself but using a homemade net just for extra pieces of mind.
It’s a good way to shorten the height a little bit on stretch monster strains. It’s like a distraction for their stretch in veg. While they heal the phloem and xylem inside.
Personally, I’ve grown and played around with that strain and breeding projects quite a bit. The strawberry cough can stretch. That’s why kyle probably first had to do it. Ha Otherwise that plant will stretch high into the lights.
Yeah I got some THC Bomb photos that my last one B4 I stopped it was over 5ft. And that’s what I have going again in my tent lol so gotta keep them shorter only 5ft of height in tent.
