i have read up but i was wondering the pros and cons and the approch the top growers in here take thanxs
during first weeks of flower i pinch and roll branches at a 90 angle. I also select and keep branches which will become the main colas. I have noticed less stretching and bigger/compact colas. Cons....not many, stress and a possibility of breaking off branchs. So far i have supercropped all of my lanky plants.
I can only back up Cheba and Indi on this one. A lil goes a long way in this arena. Too much at one time WILL cause the plants to over stress, but a couple pinches/twists that are allowed to heal before the next round will be a good thing. Here are some pics for ya.
