well yea, it would definitely cause some stress to the plant. how much i couldnt tell you though. i mean bending it is one thing but actually snaping it?

i know what supercropping is........... when you bend them down, but he pinches it and twists the main stalk coming straight up not one of the stems going out he doesnt bend anything he just twists it

You obviously do not know what supercropping is..... Supercropping is basically taking the MAIN stem and twisting it between your fingers untill you hear/feel a snap. This encourages all the side branches to then grow much stronger than they would have.

What you were talking about is called LST (Low Stress Training)

still a form of supercropping...he is just using the main stem in stead of a growing top...really the same. He is twisting instead of pinching to break/snap the inner hurd. Twisting may provide a more even "break"
