Super cropping is very similar to topping, in that you just pick a site and squeeze away till you here it crack, then bend it just above a new shoot then the new shoot will take over as the main stem whilst the bent one repairs itself over a few weeks. Super cropping is done in veg and not in flower for bigger plants and yields, although if using the same technique in flower to control height etc its still HST and the plant will react the same spreading auxins around the plant more evenly trying to survive what it thinks is end of days. In pic one the plants have been topped twice when young to reach this stage of about 17 to 20 inches tall, i`ve then super cropped between 7 and 9 inches of each plant to keep them at even heights, i flipped to 12/12 about 12 days later.
The plants are Freddy`s Best by Dutch Passion which is a sativa heavy plant i ran at 12/12 for 12 weeks.

Basically you just squeezing a stem until it cracks just above a new shoot like you would if topping with scissors and then bending it over gently, but if you don`t bend it over enough it will be stood back up the next day, so don`t be scared to bend it.
After
4 days after
11 days after in veg, i then flipped to bloom about 2 weeks after scropping.
2 weeks into 12/12 just after lollipopping the bottom 3rd off.
3 weeks in and buds are starting to show.
4 to 5 weeks in bloom
9 weeks in bloom
About 11 weeks into bloom
Just b4 chop after 12 weeks in bloom
A total of just under 20oz from the big plant after 9 days drying on stalk and 3 days of stalk on paper so 12 days dried.
