Supercropping and Canopy Control
Hi everyone, I've been participating on RIU for a short while and I have learned a wealth of information from other people's experiences. Its unbelievable how much awesome information is available and shared here by innovative cannabis enthusiasts. A person with basic knowledge and experience can learn a ton combining other people's experience and mistakes with their own. I am currently making changes to my garden that will most definitely increase both efficiency and quality thanks to the users of this forum. Thanks to everyone who participates!
Supercropping is a canopy control strategy that is very easy and highly effective throughout vegging. I was unable to find much information on supercropping here and thought I would share some supercropping pictures of my vegging plants for people that don't know what it is or don't use it. I usually supercrop all through vegging to control stretching plants and increase overall bushiness of the plant. It works as an excellent transition to LST just before flowering.

Here is a PPP a few days into flower, I transplanted at the same time due to time constraints so she is still recovering but looks like she's making the turn. I transitioned to tying the canopy down to the bucket rim with twist ties.

good info i do this to my flowering plants during the stretch in weeks 2-3 of flower. it evens out the canopy as well as make for nice thick stems which means nice chunky buds. good thread +rep.
Hey bkb, you're right about super cropping and over breaking. I LST throughout veg starting a few days after they are transferred from their clone stage. Being on top of your LST and topping as well as great nutrients is the way to grow big ladies and eventually not have to use stake and/or screens. Check out my pics and videos here's one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOmxKZUqeXI , these are not as big and/or flat as they should be on top, but you can get the picture. I will eventually put up LST videos when I get a new camera. Here are some pics of ladies showing what it looks like under the canopy. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, happy tokin'! ps i don't LST during flowering or try to touch my plants, especially the tops after the third week. fyi: )
