Supercropping is pure unadulterated bullshit. The leaves are essential to produce the bud; removing any healthy leaves just reduces the amount of bud you will get and the overall health of the plant.

????????????super croping does not involve taking leaves off its snapping the tallest branches outward kinda like lst or even lest is a form of super croping wtf u talking about? lolipopping i suspect

Damn... Sorry about that. I was thinking "lolipopping". My bad.

supercropping is just breaking down the stalk fibers enough that it will bend over from the lack of support at the cropped spot, which in turn causes everything below to start turning the ends of the branches up towards the light, its a great lst technique that Ive just started utilizing. Just pick a spot and pinch the stalk just enough until you feel it give a little, then you gotta basicly pinch it all around the stalk until it leans over, or atleast that is my idea of supercropping, someone correct me if Im wrong. Supercropping and fim'ing are great to bulk up the plant with absolutely minimal stress to the plants overall growth, although I do top some appropriate strains. I do agree that one should never clip healthy leaves just to make the plant look a little cleaner, those leaves soak up light, their like solar panels, the more you have the more energy you get, which means bigger and better buds, but hey everyone has their own opinions and different growing situations where sometimes more drastic stressful techniques must be utilized. Peace to all, go big or go home, its almost that time of year baby!!!!

Yeah, don't clip leaves unless their dead or 75% yellow. I "supercrop" by bending the steam near the base just a tiny bit, then I move half an inch up and bend again, and I repeat while working my way up to the leaf. I then go back down one more time, bending a little farther. I wasn't aware it helps the lower leaves with the light. I do it to my indoor plants because I noticed after a few days the stems get stiffer and appear more healthier.

I also periodically shake the branches semi-violently to mimic a storm. I might be pushing it with the shaking, but its therapeutic too.
