Super crop gone wrong ??????

Switched my plant from 18/6 to 12/12. Gave me the 12/12 stretch. Somebody told me somthing about lst or super cropping. I decided to supercrop. I just wanna make sure i didnt damage the stem to bad to the point to where it will die. My plant was reaching and growing way to tall. So i wanted to make it bushier and get light down at the bottom for more bud sites. If anybody can give me some feed back or some tips that would help out alot. Im in the midwest. Probably not even supposed to be doing this really. I know that there are people on here with alot of expertise. I hope i did that right,if not how do i correct it?

They will be fine. I would only say you did it a bit further down then usual. i find right at the top node works fine. You slightly pinch in finger and thumb with a slight roll. They should still grow and in a few days the tops will begin to stand again but up growth is slowed at that point.

Looks good to me. I had a fan drop on a plant and it got "super" cropped a hell of a lot worse than that - it recovered perfectly (early flower).
 
aye yo thanks everyone! i appreciate the prompt feed back. this is my first grow. it was a tiger striped. found it in a good batch that my friend had. im not sure what kind of plant this will be. im hoping indica. early on i had it on a vigorous 18/6 schedule. but due to disturbances and things of that nature i switched it to 12/12 because it was easier to regulate and manage. but i heard that will trigger early flowering. which i already know because before the switch i left it in the dark for a full 24 hours i also switched from cfl's to General Electrics Plant Lights. So I wonder if that had anything to with my plant doubling in size. I was afraid it was a male because it wasnt branching out. at what point will i know if it is a male or not? It was just getting tall. I have then switched back to Cfl's i have one Plant Light that works as a reflecter. i keep the fan on day in day out because it is in the closet so i try to get some kind of c02 circulating. ive probably been growing the plant a solid month now.started the beginning of Oct. my goal is to get a solid indoor yield. the branches are being stubborn. it doesnt want to branch out. it has just been growing tall. any suggestions?
