Am I Super Cropping Right?

First grow...as you can see I just super cropped this huge sativa plant to try and even out the canopy. I supported one and did not support the other (testing/learning). Should I support that other one? Is it leaning too much?



Any help appreciated. RIU rules!

don't support 'em. they'll eventually knot up where you pinched them and bend back to the sky.

a good supercropping comes out looking like a SCROG without a screen 'round these parts.

also, i might pinch just a wee bit further down the stem. you'd be surprised at how quickly the ladies will bounce back!

With super cropping you'll be amazed how much the plant recovers and straightens out on its own. Sometimes they take repeated beatings!

Would you want to top it completely to even out the canopy?

are you in flower? if so just be aware that some strains may hermie when stressed. Super cropping , topping and fim can stress a plant enough for a it to turn hermie. I usually do it during veg only

Wow you guys were so right. Anyone who is afraid of bending there baby up...DONT WORRY. This is one day after I bent the shit out of it. Look at the branch in question. I thought it was leaning too much and it popped right back up. I am in flower with these but we are talking like 3 days in. I just bent the other two tops down to match.
