Oh yeah, supercropping is my preferred method if training…. You have to defoliate with it, but if done right it can kick the plant into overdrive and she’ll send up tons of tops. Instead of one top per branch, you lay it out sideways and all lateral branches shoot for the light and become tops. It usually prolongs the flowering cycle because they’ll veg longer to recover….
Some strains like it better than others, but the ones that like it, will reward you…

A few examples….

I thought supercropping might be too stressful for an autoflower. Do you also top? When you say defoliate, do you mean you prune for airflow, and to remove upper leaves that are shading lower budsites? Nice plant btw

Thanks..

Supercropping is less stressful than topping. Most plants recover from the training in a matter of hours and get to work reaching tops for the lights.

I don’t top….

Yes, I defoliate to expose the lower branching to the light so they will reach up. Basically, after bending and tying the plant, look straight down on it from the point of view of the light…. Start removing any fans on the top side of the branches, exposing all the new potential tops. If they’re shaded, they won’t reach up… and will remain larfy.

I’ll be supercropping five plants in about 20-25 days if you want to follow along..

[I love weed]

I top and then LST to level out canopy super cropping is reserved for those plants that won’t stop stretching

Here’s the Acapulco Gold I grew I ended up super ripping four branches by the end

When you supercrop, you tie down the branch after. Its just like lst, but no chance of the branch snapping. I dont know if it would cause too much stress. I guess you can still supercrop during the stretch, so it should be fine

I will just put this song here so I can listen to music while I’m reading.

If you want the plants to turn out like mine above… you want to supercrop before the stretch. You want that energy….

Honestly, most people use supercropping as a last resort in flower because the plant is getting too tall. Thats not supercropping exactly…. That’s just a response of not having a better option for a plant that is in the light.

if done at the right time…. Supercropping will create a super crop…. Hence the name

My point is, don’t think what I’ve done to the plants above is the same as someone who bent over a plant in flower….
