I tend to crack the branches a little when I bend them to avoid over growth in my space. So I was thinking that I am doing the cropping by bending to late in the plants life. But I see other do it. The plant has about 4 more weeks of flower til complete. Maybe I should of cropped it at a younger age. Anyone have an opinion?
The cracked branches can cause infection in the plant. But they are healing ok. Good enough to still bud. I twisted the plant stem in my fingers and let the stem drop for cropping. But when I twisted it broke a little/cracked.
How high on eaach plant should one bend the branch?
Or any other opinions would be nice...
Yes , you should super crop during veg when the growing shoots are
( rubbery).
You can also just bend your top over and tie it to the main stem without cracking it.
