The Power of "Monstercropping" by Nebula Haze |

Why "Monstercrop" a Marijuana Plant?
When it comes to monstercropping cannabis plants, the main idea is to put a flowering
plant back into the vegetative stage, either by growing a plant out again after harvest, or taking a clone from a flowering marijuana plant.
As a side effect of the re-vegging process, cannabis plants respond with odd growth patterns, which a grower can sometimes take advantage of to grow a more desirable plant.
Monstercropping initiates a bushy growth response
that you can use to your advantage, while potentially allowing you to get a second harvest from the same plant!
The benefits can include increasing yields from a plant, reducing the time needed in the vegetative stage for your next harvest, and potentially protecting important genes of a plant that produced particularly well.
This plant shows the classic growth pattern of a monstercropped clone. This grower got a result similar to a manifolded plant without the time and effort! It can get kind of confusing because people often use the terms "re-vegging" and "monstercropping" interchangeably, but they're a bit different. Re-vegging is the act of a flowering plant going
back into the vegetative stage (usually on accident) while the term monstercropping refers specifically to the technique of re-vegging a flowering plant on purpose.
It's also important to note that monstercropping is different from supercropping, which is a completely unrelated technique that just happens to have a similar name. Supercropping has to do with
bending the stems in a specific way to increase canopy control as well as yields. I've come to realize over the years that the terms used by cannabis growers don't necessarily make the most technical sense! Teach me about supercropping cannabis.
Every
individual plant responds differently to being re-vegged, even of the same strain, so it can be a little hard to predict exactly what to expect.
It Can Be a Little Hard to Know Exactly What to Expect Since Each Plant is Different, But Re-Vegging Plants Usually Start Growing Round Leaves

Example of another cannabis plant that started re-vegging. Every strain expresses re-vegging a little differently! The longer the plant spends in the flowering stage, the more dramatic the effects from monstercropping, and the longer it takes the
plant to completely re-vegetate and start growing normally again.
As the plant transitions back to the vegetative stage, it will start growing standard leaves, and after about 2-4 weeks, most plants will be growing in a traditional way. The effects of monstercropping only last a few weeks for most
plants!
Monstercropping Can Also Be Used to Preserve Good Genes
If you are very pleased with the results of a specific cannabis plant, you may want to take clones even though the plant is no longer in the vegetative stage!
This grower took clones of all plants just before harvest, and after drying/curing chose to only keep the monstercropped clone from the plant that made these buds. Monstercropping gives the grower a way to preserve genetics that turn out better than expected! Don't lose important plant cultivars! Sometimes re-vegging happens by accident, for example if there's a light leak (though an industrious grower could try to use the opportunity to try their hand at monstercropping)! That being said, monstercropping is far more effective when you plan for it! Continue reading to see tons of pictures showing the whole process from beginning to end!
What's the Deal with ViparSpectra LEDs? |
|
There are many LED companies out there who make good cannabis grow lights, but there are also many models that just do a terrible job! If you get bad LEDs, you might think you're a bad grower when the true problem is actually your lights!
Which brands can you trust at a decent
price?
We have been maintaining a short list of a few LED companies that have proven to produce well with real cannabis plants, and we recently added a new LED company that I wanted to share with you all!
This company has been under the radar for a while, but has become much more popular lately with lights that are
producing good yields and quality in live cannabis tests! At the same time, prices are much lower than most high-quality LED grow lights! You can start growing with their smallest 300W model for under $100 (shown below)! I think these would be a great choice for a new grower who just wants to "dip a toe" into growing. |

I've very recently been interested in growing my own cannabis and your guide has highhandedly convinced me to do so. Your website is so amazing. It is such an in-depth guide of literally every aspect of growing and it is formatted so well - to the pictures, the paragraphs and my favourite part is probably the hyperlinks you use. Before I even have a question about something,
you've already linked the answer to a separate page hahaha. All I want to say really is congrats on such a work of art, and I really look forward to starting my grow next week! Thanks. H.

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
