Here are some Super cropped and LST'd PPP for your enjoyment. These might be two different plants, I've finished many of this strain.
Edit - Yep 3rd is a different PPP

Thanks R2I

First two shots are of Sannies Killing Fields, she's getting close, gonna peep through the scope in a minute. She's been fading the past few days and picking up momentum. I untied her a few days ago to let her breath freely a bit, something I like to do towards harvest to increase airflow through the canopy.
Second two shots are the newest addition to the flower box, bubblegum. I tried it once before and it did not turn out well. These are different genetics (clone) from a friend. Just going to super crop through the stretch and let her fly after that. Will probably end up tying her down after a while. Overall I think she has potential
Next into the box will be Northern Lights! My first attempt at that one so I'm kind of excited to do such a legendary strain that has contributed so much to the evolution of dank!

Thanks Stoney you da man, that looks great! How do you upload larger shots like that that don't need to be clicked? It looks much better vertical even though its not really vertical LOL.lookin awesome man!!! can't wait to see the northern lights!!! I blew this one up and rotated it, just felt it deserved to be BAM! in your face....... hope ya don't mind!!

just make up a fake photobucket account and upload your pics there instead of RIU. once you have them uploaded, just click on IMG code and when you are typing your message in RIU just paste where you want the photo. it makes it sooooo fast when you post a bunch of pics, plus you will have them at their natural resolution... RIU downgrades it.... so your pics would be even clearer!!
It did look good sideways!!! i'm not so sure the other one would have but the closeup worked out well!! hollar at me if ya want any help with photobucket

Yeah dude it looks bad as hell under white light. Going to look sweet in a pile! I started 2 of them but I lost one to an unknown sickness. Hoping for another purple pheno again. Peep this jackberry he has too.

Schwagbag I read this entire thread as well as drooled at all off the budporn, great stuff man! But I do have a ?, lets say you dont have an issue with height.... is SC in any way a yield booster as opposed to just lettin em go or just topping. If so, is it because stalks are thicker(more nutes) because i've seen it done to plants followed by supportin the branch in its original position rather than laying it down...I understand that everybody has their own reason why they choose particular methods but I would like to know if you think that your method, not your reasoning(canopy control) would help with an unrestricted(as far as space) grow?

First week of November
who doesn't want to grow one of everything. I have to hold my hand back because I want to germ a new seed every day. But today is a scheduled seed germing day, hurray!Did I ever tell you you are a funny mother fucker? Nothing in particular brought that up.

Hey blessedlungs, welcome to the forum and thanks for reading the thread, I appreciate the compliments. I don't grow the dankest of dank but I think I do ok for a little 600 in a 4 x 4 box
First, the reason I control my canopy is not because I lack vertical space... In fact, most of my plants are elevated off the floor to keep all of my canopies consistent in my perpetual garden. Its because I grow indoors using a 600w HPS for flowering. A 600, or any other indoor light for that matter, is not penetrating much much further past the canopy effectively, which is why the canopy has the frostiest and most resinous buds. In fact, I veg with T5's which are even weaker for canopy penetration, these work best within 4" of the canopy. Once a 600 gets past 10-12" below the canopy the buds are typically not for smoking (for me anyways). Not that I haven't smoked them, but I have no need when I control my canopy because most all of the buds are quality and dense. Here is an example for you. A 600w HPS at a distance of 10 inches is about the equivalent of a 150w HPS at 4". I'm sure you can figure out what this means. So to answer your question, does it increase yield? Yes, I believe it does increase yield of quality buds and decreases yield of popcorn trimmins'. It allows me to pack my box to the max and create a blanket of colas, sort of like a perpetual scrog but not quite as efficient or effective.
Keep in mind that opinions will vary with this ideology. I've grown both ways and I've found these methods to work well for me. The Ice plant I harvested was around 4 oz dried and I had 4-5 other plants in a 4 x 4 box with it. I essentially will use every piece of bud on the plant for smoking and it is excellent. The only thing that goes to hash is trim!
One problem I'm having right now though is that I don't have the space for the amount of plants that I'm currently growing. Its really not that many, but my space is small for both veg and flowering. This is forcing me to overveg my plants. I'm super cropping them and topping them but the longer this continues through veg the more horizontal space they take up, and the thicker and more dense their vegetation gets. I just spent 2 or 3 hours in my room lolli-popping, super cropping and defoliating most of my vegging plants. I took some clones and just plain cut some branches out to allow for some more air flow through the plant.
Thanks again for stopping by, feel free to ask questions as myself and a few others lurking here now and again find super cropping to work very well for us.
