Would fiming/topping stunt a cola?

I'm doing a sog so im wanting to that cola to reach for the sky

The bottom 2 leaves usually secrete a hormone that makes a plant bushy and short. Cutting them from the stem will induce an accentuated growth in height. This will also permit a better aircirculation and will lower bug and pest attacks.

Topping, fimming, LSTing or supercropping all reduce the growth in height or at least change the growth direction. Topping and fimming are stressful to a plant, it needs time to recuparate efter the shock and only half/quarter of the energy is put now into the different colas. Supercropping works best in order to limit height, while permitting light to shine on lower leaves and inducing a cola-like growth on all secondary stems.

In SOG, I'd personally use supercropping and I'd definetly cut the bottom 2 leaves.

What is supercropping? only term iv never heard used. This brings up another question for me, my last autoflowering ak 47 turned out to be a big hermie producing nothing but male pods. I trimmed the 3rd and 4th highest leaf sets so that the smaller branches/bud sites could get light, could that be the reason for the stress that hermied my plant?

Cutting leaves is not a big source of stress and is very improbable to cause male pod growth in females.
