Supercropping during budding?

Has anyone used super-cropping during flowering stage? Knocking down the colas to get more juice? Thicker, danker, sweeter budz? I've had great success doing this in veg. but didn't think @ during flower as well. I've heard good things, anyone else?

I have had positive experiences...,my colas are always rather large yet I have no side by side comparisons to speak of. I would avoid it during initial flower development, the first week of 12/12 seems ok but until the colas are really established I do not. A warning that the plants get very bushy and the canopy gets less light penetration. That is my biggest problem.....underestimating the space each plant will require and ending up crowding them. The supercropping I do in veg and early flower is to encourage branching.....in mid/ late flower I see it as a booster and use it under the majority of the cola. I also get a lot of undergrowth and do a 2 step harvest sometimes. I take off all the biggest tops and lower the light for a week and the popcorn really matures. I do not know about the effect on overall yeild, but the flowers look big and beautiful.

I have don't during flowering about 5 1/2 weeks in maybe more and I notice a difference they plump up some and tend to fill out more overall I would encourage it if your not timid

I've done it out of necessity because a branch gets too close to a light or makes my canopy uneven.

Ok so I just super cropped my lil girl that's about week and half into flowering I low stress trained her in veg so already had some bottom colas branching out and up and yea now IV just super cropper few of the larger lower colas on the bottom and also actually bent the main stem about 5inches from the top cola and it's now on a 90° angel ;p so yea il keep ya posted on the results :)

Can some one describe how to do this?? Im a little timid since flowering is going so well. Most of My strains have grown 5-6ft tall. Light penetration is low for the lower branches

curious about this i started several strains to flower on 1/10/14(mostly S.a.g.e.) and both rooms are over grown.

I have mostly hybrids and sativas.
