Pinching is sometimes called Supercropping. That is when you pinch the stem between the nodes.

With the stem between your thumb and index finger, squeeze until you feel the stem crack. When the stem heals, it will heal thicker than it was.

I don't recommend you do it on this grow. With this one, just get through it and get some bud. On your next one, try some different techniques.

thanks again! so much more stuff to try, but i think i won't be able to do another crop mayb for a while, i'm trying to hurry and bud b4 someone go up in the attic. this is such a fun hobby tho. i havn't been this excited about anything in a while. so hey just curious AB, when u pinch til the stem crack, thats where u would tie the string?

You would pinch between EVERY node. It is unrelated to where you tie the string.

If you really want to try it, just do it on one of your plants in case something goes wrong.

I copied this from another web site:

The plant passes water and nutrients cell to cell through this network of cellulose. Breaking the plant's inner walls will cause it to rebuild. But it rebuilds these networks better than they were before; it rebuilds so fast (under good growth conditions) that 24 hours later the plant is using the new highways and it's increased capacity for moving water and nutrients.

= Bigger, Faster Growth

I went back and compared your plants from a week ago. They have really come back from the pruning. Good job! Looks like you've got it under control.

Other than what you've already mentioned, I can't think of anything else to do before you start flowering. Good Luck!
