Took down one of my two plants last weekend and was amazed. By supercropping I got a whopping 2.3 pounds Gotta split with my son because he gave me the baby plants.

@truthbedamned can you define super cropping please.

That's a big ass table full of herb! I think you need bigger jars!
Supercropping is done when your plants are starting to get to tall. You simply select a stem and go down about a foot or so. Begin to roll the stem between your thump and finger until you feel if give way. Then you bend that stem over at least 90 degrees. What will happen is all of the leaf growth and branches above the bend will begin to grow up and produce their own cola. As an example: If you bent a stalk that had 4 branches above the bend then you would get 4 colas instead of just the one. Here is a picture of my plants when I supercropped them

3352

All of those bent over stems stayed at the 90 degree angle but 3 or 4 new colas began to grow up increasing the yield on that one stem by 3 or 4.

When you're rolling the stem between your fingers and then bend it does the stem crack, or is it too tough to crack?

Stems on a pot plant are hollow. If the stems are not that large then they will bend over easily. Mine were tougher so I actually used a pair of pliers to manipulate them. And no...they don't crack....if they do that stem is going to die. They simply fold over if you roll them enough. Pot is a pretty resilient plant.

I too have suffered the nemesis bud rot. Went out this morning to start taking my last plant down and found half of it either dead or dying. They were fine on Friday. Colas just crumbled in my fingers. I quickly removed everything that was green and was able to salvage about half of it. I started noticing these little pods all over my stems so I broke one open and looked with my microscope and it looked like it was full of larva. Anybody have any idea what they might be? @Xuder O'Clam @ruprecht Regardless everything gets washed tomorrow.

Either way I also happened to get the BIGGEST branch in all of my grows so far. And low and behold it was at the bottom of the plant. Take a gander at this monster.

BTW, I'm back in the game. A good Homey harvested 2 plants of OG Kush & Maui hybrid and dropped off a pity-pound of wet colas.

I removed the fan leaves and have begun the hang & dry process.

Wish I had friends like yours.:) Really glad you are back and active. I actually finished the wash this evening and for those that think outdoor pot does not need to be washed look at this:
Tub 1 after washing. This tub was crystal clear when beginning.

Tub 2, Also crystal clear when starting.

And the haul for plant 2.

Looks like scale.

Lucky they came at the end, and you were able to harvest that monster.

Bingo. Thanks Xuder

Scales:
Armored (Hard) – Secrete a hard protective covering (1/8 inch long) over themselves, which is not attached to the body. The hard scale lives and feeds under this spherical armor and does not move about the plant. They do not secrete honeydew.

Yes, it's going to be demolished and replaced with a new one, this is it's final chapter.
Those are nice buds. Did your buddy just grow to much? I know at the end of last year trimming that last plant was worse than getting a root canal with no novocaine. I learned a very valuable lesson last year. Unless you plan on selling it 6 plants is just to fucking much to deal with. It is a year later and I still have at least a pound left over in my freezer. And I can't say how much I have given away. Now it is never more than 2 plants at once.

My buddy had more than he knew what to do with and was none too sad to give some away.

I hear ya, I already told my wife that I'm only going with 2-3 plants next year at most.
