Kyle Kushman's training technique

[momomonster]

@ momomonster, Kyle's tecniche sounds very similar to what you described. The main difference is not "kinking" or 'nearly' bending a stem in a 90 degree angle. This technique is similar to some other techniques. I'm going to blow this page up in the upcoming weeks per this subject.

Until then, the tech is not bending. Sure, some branches will lay over. That's fine and good---acts the same as LST.

Picture one of your plants...say there's a node that is getting taller than her sisters. Lower node in one hand, upper node in the other...feel me? Twist your hands in opposite directions. It can be that simple or using "crushing" techs, could be more complicated.

A person could google the subject, even find viral vids.I think, perhaps a person could look for a vid named 'cracking stems like Kyle'.

ahhhh i see what you mean now mate!! yes yes i get it, basically you are "twisting" 2 of the branches. it will be great to see what kind of results you get off this. im subbed and waiting.

Hmm, it is. I'm prepping for work so I'm out of time. I'll work on getting it fixed when I have the time.

I tried this with some BOY plants that were in pre-flower, and I felt no pop.
Twisted two pencil sized branches completely off the plant -
no pop, just a mushy give until they twisted into a pulpy mess.

I'll try and upload some pics in the morning to give this thread a little bump.
