pinchin/stalling/supercropping is a great way to control your canopy and encourage lower growth to join the tops
by gently breaking the inner hurn (when the stem snaps you;re breaking the inner hurd) I beive some chemicals are released that makes the plant tink it was TOPPED and the pinched/stalled/supercropped lead will stop growing for a few days (hence why it is sometimes called "stalling") while the plant forces lower branches to rise up.
i use the technique to control my canopy into week 3 of flower.
good luck

Can anyone tell me if pinching is a good way to control height?
I've heard good and bad things about it, and I wanted a 3rd perspective.
If it is a good idea could someone please let me know what the best way safely to do it is?
Technically called "Super Cropping". Here's a vid, there's a lot more too.
