supercropping and adding beneficial microbes!!!

Supercroppping does not increase yield. Only stunts growth to control plant height or achieve an even canopy.
Cutting leaves only provides less energy for the plant to grow.View attachment 3360735 View attachment 3360736 I added a microbe tea and cut leaves that were blocking light to branches.... heres a nice pic of how they recovered overnight
OP, good luck picking through the bad info!

Switch to hydro.
For soil plants use 5 gallon buckets with great drainage instead of ordinary, smaller plant containers.

thats a bunch of crap both method ,open the canopy to allow more growth and more buds ,i have plants that would prove that what i say is correct ,hell there damned bushes with 3 times the bud sites before i started to so call just even my canopy

Super cropping sends hormones called auxins to the other bud sites to be the top site, any form of training will "technically" increase yields because your allowing more light to hit the entire plant instead of just the top half when grown regular. Put a plant with no training and a super cropped plant side by side I guarantee you will have an increase in yield

This has been debated to death. I do not have the time to start now. OP can do his own testing.

I've only attempted two grows thus far, but something that I've done that I can clearly see has made a huge difference is LST. Tying branches down to create an even canopy and more bud sites is something that absolutely works and I will do it every single time I grow. Next time I'm going to try a combination of topping and LST. I'm definitely a noob grower, but I can tell you that I've seen results quickly from every plant that I've LST'd.
