Two Things I Do Every Single Grow by Nebula Haze Here are two, easy, low-skill crucial techniques that together control plant height, increase density, bud quality, and even potency. Both techniques were
used to create this monstrously productive Purple Ghost Candy plant.
...resulting in long, thick, beautiful buds.
What are they? I'm curious if you've heard of these or not. Drumroll please... Two super easy and effective plant training techniques that can be used together, or in isolation: These two techniques give you
greater control over plant growth, for better home harvests!
"Supercrop" Your Plants (control height)Supercropping solves an immediate problem (my plants are too tall) but height isn't necessarily the biggest problem. I always use either supercropping, or the basic ideas behind supercropping, in every grow. What is Supercropping: Supercropping (or “super cropping”) is a specific bending technique that lets you control the
height (and shape) of out-of-control cannabis plants, by bending branches at major angles. The supercropping technique lets you make bends that otherwise wouldn’t be possible without breaking the stem. Learn More: Supercropping: Magic Technique to Control Cannabis
Plant Height If plants get too tall for your space, drastic measures can be taken.
"Lollipop" Your Plants (increase bud density/quality)Lollipopping is a straightforward, quick way to increase you bud quality. No skill needed. Done right, lollipopping increases overall bud density, average potency, and even yields. If a grower is not doing it, it's seriously just bud left on the table. What is Lollipopping: To “lollipop” a growing cannabis plant
means to remove most growth from the bottom of the plant that isn’t getting light. With lollipopping, the cannabis grower leaves the top of the plant untouched, so it’s full on top and bare on bottom, like a lollipop. The lollipopping technique leaves the cannabis plant resembling a lollipop. Big on top, bare on the bottom. Learn More: Lollipopping Cannabis: How to Do It Right! (and get bigger yields). The lollipopping technique leaves the cannabis plant resembling a lollipop. Big on top, bare on the bottom.
A lot of what makes home grows go smoothly (with big, bountiful harvests) is the combination of little tricks and hints that home growers have discovered over the years. Today we covered two useful and free, yet surprisingly effective techniques, that can help you achieve your harvest goals. But there are many more! Tried lollipopping or supercropping before?
