Super Cropping

You do supercropping in the veg stage, or early flower, before pre-flowers show? The finished buds are a lot smaller aren't they. I get smaller buds when I prune a plant. Can't I just top and fem a plant to get the same results?

I'm just here trying to learn here so any help is appreciated. I top during vegging and do some lst during flowering. You taught me some good stuff. I'm subscribed. I gotta keep it small as well....thanks..

Aren't you constantly batteling ppm and ph levels in hydro and having to weekly change the res? Don't you have to clean out each tube as the plants get harvested? You have to have an air pump to oxygenate the water, a water pump to push the water, and soil is just there. If taking a shop vac and sweeping up the spilt soil from the transplant is all i have to worry about then how would hydro be more effiencient? Not being a smart ass just needing more info to tip the scales....
Yeah, that's right on every count. It's a pain in the ass.....what's your point? lol

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND!

The lights turned on and I went to check on things and while I was there i pinched several plants just down from the tops, maybe 3-4 nodes. I smashed in both directions gently enough to crush it but not bad enough to make it fall over. i'll let you know if there's a difference...

I just turned the lights back on the 10th, so about 72 hours. I only did 4-5 so if something happens I can always pitch them, like if they hermie.... I checked on them just now after giving them a taste of their flowering mix last night and they look great. I had a plant that i had to do this to last year out of height reasons and it was several weeks into flower and it wound up a hermie but I think it had more to do with interupting it's light cycle to much.... I'll let you know what happens

Love this technique! Works great for me, as I can only grow 6 plants medicinally. Here's a few pics from 2 days ago! They are about 2 1/2 weeks into Veg. I'd appreciate any tips from the supercropping Masters as well!! Thanks for all the help! Genfranco Much Love!
