HST and LST on same plant?

Hey y'all.. So I'm thinking about entertaining the idea of doing both LST and super cropping in the same veg cycle on a couple of plants to see how it works. Basically I'm thinking of trying the tie-down method for the first 2 weeks of veg and then pull the ties and super crop once or twice before flowering. Has anyone have any experience trying something like this, or is it just a waste of my time to try? I'm happy to stick to my HST methods the whole time but I'm interested to see what kind of difference I see.


For the record room is not a problem - I've got a large space to work with so that really isn't a factor. Thanks!!

all logical experiments with your plants are well worth it IMO.. the best way to find your answer is to try it

i do this every run to maximise my canopy without a scrog net. works a charm you'll need the cola tied down for longer though if you don't want it to shoot up once you reach the heavy flowering stage, but that all depends on how you grow, i like to keep mine short.
again no issues with height, just a preference for my setup.

What is HST ?

Why? Hermaphrodite creation?

i believe they're talking about supercropping.

I think you're right - but then why not just say Super Cropping.
Meh.

i say go for it!

I supercrop and lst the same plants not had any issues, I also mildly defol my plants with no stress being shown by the plants.
I will bend a plant to my needs and not let it get out of control as I like to keep my areas to as small a space as possible.

Because it is not just supper cropping, it involves topping, pruning, fimming, crushing, chopping, or extreme bending to a part of the plant for a certain benefit.
Just like LST isn't just tying a plant down, it is also scrog, sog, slight bending, etc.

To great white and the OP.
Certainly there are benefits to these or else people wouldn't be doing them.
Supper cropping is one of my favorites along with completely bending a plant side ways and tying it down.
Supper cropping involves the bending and pinching of the stem at a certain spot to allow flow of nutrients and other necessities to a certain branch.
VERY beneficial IMO. Others might think differently, its best to try it for yourself.

greatwhite, how do you not know this by now, being at the site 4 years and all... or are you just trying to be a menace?
