Super Cropping Main Stem of Cannabis Plants

Super Cropping Main Stem of Cannabis Plants

High-Stress Training is also called as Super Cropping. This is performed by hurting the cannabis plants slightly to grow bushier and produce more buds, as well as having higher levels of THC. Super cropping main stem will lead to natural stressing of marijuana plants to achieve these desired results.

What is Super Cropping


“Super Crop” is otherwise is known as a High-Stress Training (HST). Applying it means requiring a specific amount of stress to the cannabis plant by exerting a gentle pressure to slightly damage the tissues in an intentional and careful manner.  It can accelerate marijuana yields because of the natural stress response that takes place within the marijuana plant. The growth mechanism of marijuana will cause the plant to become bushier, thus creating an environment for increased bud production, resulting in higher THC levels.

This stress technique is now being used by many new and expert cannabis growers because of its very promising results. You’ll find a lot of video tutorials and blogs about super cropping in search engines and social media channels that you can get for free.

Producing Many Heads or Branches

The ultimate goal of super cropping is getting marijuana plants to produce as many heads or branches to induce more leaves, flowers, and buds. All a cannabis grower will need is the awareness and understanding of doing the proper way of super cropping cannabis plants. It is actually something every marijuana grower can do because it is relatively simple!

The concept is triggering the natural response of cannabis plants to protect themselves in the wild if there’s something that goes wrong. Cannabis growers can take advantage of this method to get higher yields and very potent cannabis buds.

Secret Behind the Effectiveness of Super Cropping

Marijuana plants produce THC naturally, along with other cannabinoids. Growers and users aim the THC content of cannabis due to its psychoactive and therapeutic effects. Female marijuana plants are the ones producing flowers with high amounts of THC.

Cannabis plants actually produce THC to protect themselves. It is a way of deterring their predators such as deer and pests. What causes marijuana plants to produce the most potent and biggest buds possible? Stressing the marijuana plants the right way can increase your yield because you are triggering their protective mechanism, thus naturally activating their THC production.

It means that super cropping main stem of cannabis plants is far more effective in achieving your desired output than treating them as real babies. One of the most effective and easiest methods to stress a cannabis plant is super cropping. Far more than you can imagine, it can significantly increase your yields.

Important Things You Need to Super Crop Cannabis

  1. Duct Tape
  2. Plant Twisty Ties or Regular Zip Ties (used to tie branches)
  3. Information or Guide (online resource or book) for Beginners

Steps in Super Cropping

Choosing the Best Branches for Super Cropping

This is super cropping the main stem of marijuana plants to gain higher yields. It is best performed in the vegetative phase when the plant has grown healthy branches. It should be growing vigorously. This should be done before the flowering phase.

Important Things to Keep in Mind

  1. Select plant parts that are old but are still bendy or pliable. The parts should be green and not having a wood-like bottom in the main stalk.
  2. For marijuana plants with multiple colas, it is important to super-crop using the same area on multiple colas. Super crop a pliable and greener growth if the marijuana plant has only one main cola.
  3. Creating a flat canopy is your main goal from the top. Make sure that there are no stems that stick taller than others.

squeezing and Bending Branches

Cannabis growers aim to cause inner stress or damage in the plant’s inner tissue without damaging the external skin, thus making the stem more pliable. It will be bent easily in the appropriate direction the grower wants the plant to grow. How is this done?

  1. Between the thumb and forefinger, grab the branch, squeezing it firmly seemingly like crushing the stem on the direction desired. By doing so, the joint the grower is trying to make is loosen.
  2. Just wiggle continuously until the stem’s internal part becomes soft.
  3. Gradually and carefully bend over the stem towards the desired direction, securing it in place. You are successful in super cropping once you notice the cannabis plant look broken, resting at a 90-degree angle, with the branch staying down.

Fix any Tears and Tying Down Outside Stem

  1. If you have gone overboard, using a duct tape is important, reinforcing the cannabis plant to heal the right way. This is very true if you see an open crack or slit on the external part of the stem.
  2. If there’s no slit or crack, securing down the stem is enough. Otherwise, it may just flip back after a day or two. Use regular zip ties or plant twisty ties.
  3. The area the stem was bent will grow a big ‘knot’ which is seemingly a permanent, band-aid transporting more nutrients, water, and other things your plant need to grow healthy, producing more THC and greater yields.

Remove the Bandage Tape

Before the tape is removed, allow a week to pass. Remember that it is just normal for tissues to experience discoloration at their healing sites. If ever the site appears totally wounded and the color is grey, a tape should be applied which serves as a protective knuckle. By then, the marijuana plant has the capability to transport nutrients, maintaining all normal processes with the help of the tape as a reinforcement. Just tie the branches that straighten.

Conclusion

After the cannabis stems are cropped, they will easily give in to the grower’s will or desired direction and position. The final result will be more branches, bushier plant, and more potent buds. Indeed super cropping main stem is perfect for stealth cannabis growing!

  1. My question. My red, cherry, berry strain is about 3feet talk now, im worried that after the stretching is finished that my space will not be enough, can I super crop the main tops now while its still in veg to keep the plant from growing into the light?
