Super Cropping Marijuana: Simple Secret to Bigger Yields

Super Cropping Marijuana: Simple Secret to Bigger Yields

What is Super Cropping?

Super cropping is the name for a High-Stress Training (HST) technique when you stress the plant by slightly hurting it in a planned way.

As a result, the plant will grow bushier, with more buds, and possible even higher THC levels! This is the plant's natural response to protect herself in the wild, in case things go wrong. As the grower, you can take advantage of this technique to get bigger yields and more potent buds!



Cannabis is the only known plant that naturally creates THC (which, along with CBD and other cannabinoids, make these plants of particular interest to humans).

THC is the principal 'thing' in the cannabis plant that causes the plant's well-loved psychoactive effects. THC is produced mostly in the flowers of the female cannabis plants.

But cannabinoid-like substances are abundant in almost all plants and animals, including humans. In fact, humans and mammals naturally have a ton of receptors for cannabinoids throughout our brain and bodies.

If you've ever slept, eaten, forgotten, or relaxed, then you've used your Endocannabinoid system (yay for being a mammal!) and natural cannabinoids.

Ok, so why does the cannabis plant produce THC, which causes major psychotropic effects?

Did you know that THC is produced by the marijuana plant for protection?

Obviously it's not doing a great job protecting the plants from humans! :) (Or maybe it is good for them since we keep cultivating these plants...)

In the wild, deer and many other creatures might eat marijuana flowers which would prevent the plants from making seeds and reproducing.

Yet, as far as we can tell, most animals won't strip a whole marijuana plant of ALL her buds. Either they think cannabinoids taste terrible, or maybe they hate the effects. Therefore we believe the plants use THC as a way to deter predators.

Maybe the animals just forget what they're doing and wander off...

Because these plants use THC to protect against predators, when marijuana plants are stressed, they'll put their bud and cannabinoid production into overdrive as a last ditch effort to protect themselves.

Why is that all important?

For a marijuana plant, creating the prized cannabinoid-laden buds (which are used to make seeds) is their life's work.

As a cannabis grower, it's your job to understand what causes cannabis plants to produce the biggest, most potent buds possible.

So I'm going to let you in on a big secret to getting the biggest, best buds when growing marijuana...

While marijuana growers want to make sure that these plants survive until harvest, keeping them as absolutely healthy as possible in a 100% perfect environment without any special techniques won't get you the best results.

Instead, the best buds are produced when you learn how to stress the plants in just the right way to increase yields and cannabinoid production.



Which brings me to super cropping, one of the easiest, most effective ways to stress your marijuana plant for better harvests.

This remarkably simple technique will dramatically increase your yields, and all it takes is your fingers, duct tape, a bit of growing experience and the knowledge of what to do. It's based on the idea we just discussed of stressing the plant so it goes crazy with bud production.

Plant twisty ties and regular zip ties both work great, or you can get creative! (just avoid anything "sharp" like string which can start to cut into your plant's "skin" over time)
  • Duct tape (if you make a mistake)
  • The knowledge of what to do


Plant twisty ties or regular zip ties both work great!

Regardless, the place that you originally bent will grow a big 'knot' almost like a permanent band-aid, which can transport more water, nutrients, and other good stuff compared to before.

STEP FOUR: Removing ‘bandage’ tape
  1. Wait about one week before removing any tape. It's normal for the tissues to have discoloration at the healing sites.
  2. If the site is still grey and appears totally wounded, just put the tape back on until it has grown her protective 'knuckle'.
Until then, the plant will be able to transport nutrients and maintain all normal processes as long as it has the tape as reinforcement.

If plant tries to straighten any branches, just tie them down (using Low Stress Training techniques). Stems will easily give in to your will after being super cropped.

Unlike topping or extensively plucking leaves, super cropping does not dramatically slow down the growth of the plant (though you should expect to giver her a little time to recover), while giving you many of the same benefits of these other High Stress Training techniques.
