[Qsupercrop my girl today can I put her in flowering tomorrowuudical, post: 10557157, member: 424750"]You can absolutely super-crop into flower, and like some others, I limit it to the first few weeks (which most plants will finish stretching by anyway). LST and Supercropping both yield good results when it comes to height management, and you will find that the only real difference in the results will be in the bend site when super-cropping. This can be a serious benefit if you do it right by causing the plant to rebuild with additional structure that equals more pathways for the nutrients to travel to the growing tips...but it also can cause you some problems up if you don't (like all things basically,
). Be very careful. In veg if you snap a top off, no biggie, just let the nodes below it grow out - just an unplanned topping. But in flower you really lose something, so take things super slow and use lots of support around the stem with your fingers as you bend and gently twist to make sure you do the right kind of damage (crushing the fibers and cell walls of the stem without making any tears or separations) and not the bad kind (significant stem damage that can cause fatal results to everything above the bend site). Also, really understand your plant. For instance I have a Sour Diesel plant that does not like to be super cropped at all. She is that hollow-stem chronic and has a tough time repairing the damage - I tried several times and had to do some serious first aid with tape and whatnot and it took days and days for her to even start showing some recovery signs. So I have to LST her to control height as she stretches because super cropping is stressful to her. But then I have an HSO Bubba Kush that you have to crank down on to even crush her stems when young and she fixes herself up in like hours it seems. Usually I try it out on a smaller, less significant branch (something I would probably cut off eventually after the stretch is done anyway) to see what the structure of the stem is and how the plant responds. Pick something mature enough to be a good representation, but not so big that you would be bummed loosing it.[/QUOTE]
