Yeah, I've never cropped that far from terminal end, but why not to get her down manageable?

Yeah it wont hurt them for sure. maybe have to support them at first depending how far down you do, but just to test it out, I supercropped a main stem on a local plant then I made it grow along the ground and sort of in a spiral. No issues....

the parts that are supercropped knuckle up and the parts above supercrop generally beef up due to increased nutrient transport thru the knuckle. Makes a stronger plant as well by having those knuckles

I found lollypopping when I use in conjunction with topping gives me reasonable size buds ..might have to experiment with one soon in regards to SC

When you crop the tops instead of topping, the plant sends out growth hormones which benefit the entire plant, not just the bent over/damaged part it is attempting to repair. This causes the lowers to catch up to the main top, giving you a bush rather than the classic xmas tree shape. More tops, more weight. I generally crop the main top first, then later as a few lowers start to catch up, I pick a horizontal line across plant near top and crop all the tops above said line, giving more lowers a chance to catch up. Like mainlining or Uncle Ben's (I think that's what you call it) you're trying to redirect the majority of the hormones or auxins away from single cola dominance and redistribute it throughout all the tops. I utilize it throughout veg.
