Im fairly new to growing but im on my second grow and have 2 friends that are growers too. I had a male bub in veg and it was getting too big for its space as males do lol so i jus bent the top 4 stalks at ninety degree angles and after a day or so it was fine i had to get rid if it eventualy. I have since done this to one of my girls in my bloom room. Shes recoved really well, i did it yesterday and pic is from today. My m8 called this super cropping. What do ppl think bout it as a way of hight control?

I would not say it is a form of super cropping.
It is more a form of training.
You might have topped it and then done the training to have a more compact busy plant instead of one that is bent over BUT after a while the buds will start to grow upwards towards the light.

all the bud sites on the bent stalk are turning to the light so thats prommising(spl). I spoze time will tell as to any effect on the buds themselfs ie bigger and better or same or not as good. Im quite optermistic tho as the plant didnt seem to break its stride, didnt droop or owt.
I dont remember where i found my avatar lol. im happy to change it if ppl dont like it.
It must be a photshop job, seems to make ppl laugh tho.

Not to kidnap this thread but that avatar rocks, Mr west. I think this site should have a avatar contest. Different catagories and so forth. Mr.west would def. be in the running for the funniest.
