oh I won't be afraid.
great fuckin thread.
I've been an avid topper/filmer for years.
always looking for ways to increase yeild
w/ little maintenance and this looks like a winner. I've accidentally done this years ago by damaging a plant w/ch produced crazy fat colas. I'm going to incorporate this technique into all of my grows.
thanks!!

Thats the sickest shit ive seen :0I love super cropping, it makes the stems of the plant very sturdy and thick. I have an Arjans Ultra haze plant that is barely 2 feet tall, but it is roughly 5 months old now. This plant has so many heads and it looks like a bonsai tree, she is now flowering.
She's in her first week of flower, I haven't counted the heads.
Shes a sturdy girl!
The sheer size of it >.<
Its going to produce.... and alot man
- Awesome grow ^^ fine example of super cropping!tell you what newbie1985 take one of your tallest strongest stems (not the main), go 1/2 to 3/4 down and take your two fingers and put presure to it like you would a straw until the section gets weak...gently ease into it as you sqeeze harder and then when its a little weak bend it to almost a 90 degree angle and tie a slight bit of weight to it so it wont come back up to fast, give it about three days and youll see the results...i gonna remove my weight in a week....i used a small amout of scrabble chips in a small bag.

Yea I did this to me biggest plant that had 8 main shoots and pulled them down with parts of a pomfrom and tie it to the branch and get it to be held down by my soil,i'm gonna go from 8 shoots to about 64 shoots to get maximum growh off her she's getting gigantic. It also has the leaves coming out 3 at a time the plant is amazing.

Hey guys, i just saw this thread and had a great idea. I have 2 clones almost the exact same both AI. I could supercrop one and leave the other and see which does better. I'll post pics of them if anyone wants.

very nice thread Franco
have any of you guys tried Fimming combination with super cropping?
well of course there SOG
My final thoughts on it all is to have the plant end up with 4 to 6 shoots max and cut everything else down. IF there are branches shooting out from those 6 main branches then cut them off 1 to 2 weeks before putting in flower. Nice small bud sites will grow from there and just add to the final bud cola.
and if you still have the itch for a supercrop ... then do the break/bend/pinching 4-7 days before switching to flower.
Well at least those are my $.02
Good luck with that bad ass setup you have.

a friend and I were talking about supercropping today when he said that a veteran hippy grower he knows would supercrop a week before harvest with the idea that the plant stresses and swells the bud and even increase trichomes as it trys to reheal. I know this is just hear-say but I wonder if there's any truth behind it
