Super cropping mistake???

[Ragphoto]

I read about super cropping on this site and it said it should be done in the 2nd or 3rd week of veg growth. My plants germinated and are at week 3 since sprouting and growing strong. I super cropped them and now I'm worried it was too soon. Will this kill or hurt my plants or am I ok? Thanks

You can super crop your plants at anytime during as long as they are well established. I've seen people break their plants in half right before flip and they recovered and turned into some monsters

I Agree!

One thing tho, if you super crop late on veg or in Flo, not do it by hand since you will broke a lot of stems, is better to use a tool like this one:

Thanks for the replies. They seem ok this morning. Nice idea on that tool.

You just gotta pinch once then pinch again 180° in the directiin you want the branch to lay in. Once done DO NOT PLAY WITH IT OR TOUCH IT and your find. I do it to almost every plant ive grown and it helps the lower become topss.

I just accidentally supercropped one of the main stems on a big sativa girl that is about a month into flowering and she seemed to bounce right back with heartier colas. Not sure if I would recommend it for everyone but my current strain seems to handle it fine.

Theres also practice of just pinching stems to just tear some inside to promote more energy to go to that brance.

Kinda what you accidently did.

I'm very happy to report that the girls are doing great. Unless I'm just wishing (and believe me I am, but I'm not) my girls almost sprang back overnight and even grew noticeably taller and stronger looking. I went ahead and super cropped a few other stems... Btw I also dusted my soil and some area in my space with diatomaceous earth. Great link on here about that https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=70408 enjoy
