So I have read this entire thread and was very intrigued by the possibilities. I went out and I supercropped all of my other plants, not cannabis, and they have all responded extremely well. Strong recovery, new growth....etc. I can not wait until my MJ plants are ready for this too be done to them. Thanks everyone

lets say i tried this , i tried bending the main stem and it broke, i dont know what i did wrong i tried to be gentle and it just snapped, so i just completely took it off, did i just kill my plant, i believe its right above the third node

No its not dead... Did you forget to pinch?... like i said before... sometimes if the stock is too strong then i use plier to pinch and weaken the branch/stock.... usually your fingers are strong enough...
Good luck.

i think i was to rough, but its still alive so what did i basically do top it? what will happen now

ya you pretty much topped it if you cut it off so, it's all good, every thing below will grow over the break. just remeber to be gentle, i pinch then slowely bend it making sure it won't snap, you can fell the tension before it snaps. then let off, then try bending it again, it'll be weakened and kink without breaking.

how long does it take to grow a new top or does it?

the top won't grow back but the nodes below will grow higher and give you a canopy (SoG) which you can try SCing again or just LST them with string or something.

now does this stunt growth ? does it make it bushier or just give the plant 2 heads?
Scuba

it'll be way bushier, and i'd guess it stunts for like a day or two to heal. but in the mean time the other shoots will get longer to make new tops
oh really???
Well-Known Member
I've sc'ed and the next day the growth tip is turning up. when you top and supercrop and LST you are going for a bush. I think super cropping is super!

Airstones dont work too well out of water. After you take them out of the water, your actually supposed to soak them for an hour in water before using. So idont think it would work.hey man! thanks for the kind words in ny thread...i have a question, its off the supercropping topic....alot of people use airstones in there hempy and hydrow grows...could u put an air stone at the botton of a soil bucket grow? seems tome you could airate the soil and get oxygen to the roots better....maybe its a stupid thought or maybe its already done..just curious
