genfranco, you got me thinking about trying it this year. Well this morning I bent over several. Oops I even broke one, guess that one was a little too severe. I'll post some pics of them after they set. Knowledge is power, thanks. slabhead

What does the pinching do? I have some huge outdoor girls in soil I'm about to bring inside and lay them down on their side before flowering. How is this different?

its not different really as long as you leave the plant on its side throughout the whole flowering period... but i say bending a 6 foot tall plant and fitting it into say a 4' x 4' room with a short cieling is easier than trying to lay it down sideways. in your case being outdoors you have all the room you need.

its just a way to maximize yield if say you have limitations on space or the number of plant u can grow... but beware if you dont do it right it can slow down the entire grow process completely

So you guys actually cause the stem to kink so it folds over? And the plant continues to grow despite the kink? I always thought you had to splint such an injury.

so do you get more yeild with super cropping? or would you get the same amount of yeild if you didnt and just let it grow normal, or what about if you just have 4 colas, help me out guys.

hahaha, that plant was all personal use, i got and 24.6 g off that one plant alone. I will never grow any other way then super croping, i don't usually pinch tho but it does help. I just tie the bitches down and keep pulling them outward. :) i'm running out of space to fit plants because they are hella spidered out. *drool* can't wait for harvest. altho i have found i need to get a 1000w and a Co2 system. My buds where a little fluffy

Do you also top them? Also, you didn't answer my question about your bending tecnique. Do you actually bend the stem until it kinks?

srry bout that, i do top them a few times just to get alot of tops, but i don't really kink them, i bend them to a 45 degree angle and tie them down. here are my girls as of just now.
