Should i super crop every plant as my kush looks great? Does stout indicas, like w rhino, widow or aphrodite respond as well. Or should I be growin indica/sativa hybrids for this?
cropping.

if it's your first go at supercropping you might want to leave some grow natural just to see what the difference would be in yields and uniformity etc. all strains respond differently, and imo it has to do with more than just whether it's sativa or indica. for example some strains seem to harden off a lot earlier than others, and cropping these strains is a pain in the ass. you would think that indicas would harden first but i've had some very sativa heavy strains harden off halfway through veg. some additives like silica will cause the branches to harden early also. other strains pop back up too quickly to really get the desired effect. i had a chiesel plant last round that would be practically touching the light 3 hours after being pinched or tied. long story short, some plants like it, some don't.

Do you have sugesstions on which respond well to this?

unfortunately, no. even among individual strains there are also individual phenotypes of that strain, so saying that such and such strain ALWAYS responds to such and such method is usually inaccurate unless you're talking about a clone only strain or a REALLY stable seed strain. personally i prefer to tie my branches rather than crop them for this reason. when you tie a branch, it's down for a few days. when you crop a branch, it's kind of a crap shoot unless you're already familiar with the strain. the one really nice thing about supercropping though is those little knobs you get in the branch after it heals up. cropped branches are very strong.
