Ill Tell you what, ill tell you how to do this.....
Find out how low on the branch to "break" you need to bend it over to the you height you need it at.
Now if the stem is thick enough there should be rigids, crunch one side until you here is like pop, then do the same to the other...then just push it over if it doesnt fall itself...
then you can either let it hang there or you can give it some support but either way is fine....
I have done it a couple times so im not like a pro at it, but i have never once killed off any part of the plant i suppercropped....
Its amazing how much a plant can take and rebuild its self to be even stronger then it was before...
And once that break heals it will be as strong as a fucking door hinge, bulky as shit and sturdy too..
Some reported that they get denser bigger buds on the main stem or shoots they supper cropped, but in my expierenece i got about the same results if not a little less...
But like i said again, no pro at it but i know how to do it successfully.
And i just told you how to lol..
Good luck!

Use thumb and forefinger to crush the stem, rotate grip 90º and crush again. Fold stem over. Mine just straightened back up so, you may want to secure them after the fold.

Just in case your still iffy here is a very good tutorial. I still agree with the pinch turn 90 then pinch again but this guy goes through where to do it and its just a good video

Knives said:i know freezer knows, but my thunk has one shoot growing much taller then the others. almost at the light! should i just chop the top of it off at the height i want? or supercrop? i was gonna just LST it down, but my buddy said its bad to LST during flower.
my understanding is you can LSD or suppercrop when ever. It will not effect the plant. I would just super crop that one shoot.

I accidentally supercropped this bud in the foreground well into flower. It grew that part you see sticking up where I broke it. I almost broke the main bud clean off at that point. I tied the far end to the scrubber to support it while it healed. It made a big fistula and that bud offshoot but kept on growing. F'ing amazing genetics that MNS SSH is.

If you were asking me, I'm not a good judge of that. I've only done it a few times. It's easy enough to do though IMO...and it works well if done right. The plant in my pic above was intentionally supercropped during veg, as was a Skunk Haze I had growing along side her.
As for how many times you can do it to one stem/branch. If I were wanting to do it more than once on a given branch, I'd work outward towards the growing tip from wherever you first supercrop it. Let each spot heal completely before doing the next. That's my theory of it.
But maybe I have it bass ackwards. Someone will bail me on this one

Thanks for the compliment. That was a really nice SSH pheno. She was a monster in my lil grow. She went 101 days

Yes.........Marijuana plants are very reseliant............Check out this branch:
This was my first attempt at Supercropping...........To say the least, I did it wrong.........Too much pressure and I actually ripped through the plants tissue...........I thought for sure it was going to die, but as you can see from the pics, she healed up nicely and is currently producing some nice nuggz for me..................If you look closely in the 2nd pic, you can actually see through the branch
