I noticed during my last grow in the late veg stage, that I had forgotten to remove one of those hard plastic ties (used for hand-cuffs in the military), which I had used earlier in the grow to tie and train branches to a bent metal hanger. What happened though, is that two large, fat knuckles formed on each side of the tie that the branch had grown into and around, instead of one knuckle like from crushing a branch in traditional supercropping. Just after I flipped the lights though, I had to take a trip to the hospital for pneaumonia and ended up cancelling the grow. So now I am back into another grow and I am wrapping the ties deliberately around branches about one inch from their internodes. I am hoping it will 1) slowly crush the branch in order to create a fat nute/water super-highway, or at least 2) stress the plant at a very moderate rate.
