Supercropping suggestions for a monster

[Bluey]

Well I can't put this outside but I can move it out of the light and supercrop the whole thing over 90⁰ degrees back into the light and tie and net it down.

Suggestions on what to use to supercrop one inch thick stems. My thumbs won't do the job.

I flipped it a few days ago and would like to get it over with before the stretch hits which will be any day now, so it stretches upwards along with the others.

I plan on cropping it at a line roughly at the top of the pot behind it in the photo but open to suggestions.

Thanks

Thick, soft garrot. Maybe bonsai wire?
Rolling between the fingers helps soften the stem.

I've used my thumbs before to soften the stem. Thus one is too tough. My thumbs will give way first.

cannabis is a very tolerant plant , you dont need any special tools - you can break the stem with your handsm if you are careful you can break the inside core whilst keeping the outside in tact.

Go for it, I think you will be real happy with the results.
I am not a huge fan of this guy but kyle kushman has a chiropractic technique that works really well for strengthening stalks too

I'll start on this tomorrow with dropping the other 2 to the floor, supercropping this then netting the lot ready to catch the stretch on the other 2 and hold down the mother with it.....should make for a good bit of amusement.

Pliers with rubber bands for starters 👍

Here goes nothing

Oh, the elastic bands broke after the first few crimps...i needed the big red ones but was all out.

You got it done, cool. Give it a day or 2 to recover and it will be great. If anything I would wrap some scotch tape around that bend. I dont know if it matters or not but it will give you a chuckle when you harvest. Oh yeah I remember that, lol

[Bluey]

I've used teflon around the big one...the work I had to do to that to get it to bend was extreme and I don't think it will recover but I've given it it's best chance I can...the outside of her uis stripped almost bare so ill be lucky if it gets through. The rest should be fine. I'll do the other few in a day or two once she starts to recover and cut out that that didn't make it.

I think it will be fine but keep us posted
