Supercropping and Canopy Control

25 days of 12/12 i think they may have stretched to much what yous men recon??? Should i still expect big yeild
Personally I would crop the main stalk 1/3 of the way up towards the outer rim, then 2/3 back up back towards the center of the pot. The tough part of the stretch is about over though so you could likely let them go. Cropping would let you get your light down tight on the whole canopy though. If you ever have a strain that stretches like that you might want to check out Hobbes grow lab study thread or do some more training early on to avoid that stretch better. Hobbes thread has some awesome transplanting techniques in there to control sativas and keep the canopy low and tight on the light.

You're going to need to support those lanky ho's might consider tomato rings or some other type of support. Good luck!

Here you go... this is my Bubba. I have topped, super cropped, and tied down. You can see where it was topped (for the second time actually. I topped when she was about 8 inches also), The three arms that rose from there are now being tied down. All those crotches are shooting up new tops. I am a freaking addict. lol

The scrog is my Whitefire. It started to get too tall and I couldn't tuck it back without breaking it, so I am experimenting with the bamboo stakes. I am going to train them horizontal and see what happens ;:weed:

here is a picture of super cropping up to 10th day in flower to help stop the stretch phase note 3 buds from one top and what super cropping is all about lol
Nice, I usually stop just past two weeks into flowering then if they need any controlling after that it will be LST. I love Sup Crop its all about Canopy Control and you have full control of it!

That plant is some serious FIRE bro! Nice work! I take it you dont count the 2 weeks it take to start flowering? 10 days and they are looking like that?

Peace

You sure can as long as you see new growth forming below pinch point you can very well get 4 - 5 new tops going So if you got some stem to pinch do it

you can super crop your women as many times as you want! I usually crop my girls in veg 5 to 6 times per branch and once the side shots start coming up I put them where I want them as well.

Still a little confused on what you actually do... let the plant get 2 or 3 nodes then top... and once the top has a few nodes, super crop both tops and tie the tops down so the side branches become new tops. And just keep super cropping all over the stalk and branches whenever it looks relatively healed up?
