Supercropping

I have not read much about supercropping on this website. I have heard it's somewhat similar to lst but I'm not positive. If some people could enlighten myself and other users with some pictures, examples and descriptions on how to supercrop it would be much appreitiated.
:leaf:
 
snap the stem into a ( L ) shape.

sometimes i snap a quarter of the way down and time half the way down, it really depends on my height restrictions
 
i did some jus to keep the light from burning my buds...i can see how it would be called super croping. each bud grows up to the light off the stem. so rather then half the bud being shaded from leaf and stem it grows stright up from the stem. if u draw an upside down L and draw some circles on the upside down part of the L u will see how the buds (circle on the upside down L) would benifit from the light exposer
 
I like to use Supercropping and it has worked great for me so far. I haven't done it on all of my plants but the ones that I did use it on got bushy and had multiple colas. Something not mentioned here yet is it also makes the lower branches grow to try and catch up with the top. Someone that's no longer here told me about supercropping and then FIMing the branches that grew. He had a pic of a plant that only had about 6-7 branches on it and every one was a huge cola. Small plant but big yield, don't remember how much it was but a lot for the size of the plant.
 
it has yielded plants with very large colas and very little wasted under small popcorn buds. Much prettier larger buds always seem more appealing to me.
 
supercropping is also what its sometimes called when you take a branch and sort of gently roll it between your fingers squeezing it carefully until you feel it give a bit and sort of collapse, you want to be very careful not to go too far with it though, i like it better than just breaking the branches, they seem to recover much quicker imo.

That's the way I used on outdoor crops and it worked beautifully. I would have to tie them down after bending though, or else they'd straighten out almost to where they were before bending.
Later on during the veggie cycle I take 2 pcs. of wire fence, put one on top of the other (flat to flatside) and zip tie together (for the weight). Then supercrop everything to the same heigth and just drop the fencing on top of it all. Reaching under I'd even things out a bit. Before I came here I thought I was doing something unique, then I saw SCROG - LOL.
