    Default Fim/scrog or supercrop

    As the title says really, I have a good scrog net and was gonna scrog after fimming, that was the plan but I've spent a while reading about supercropping today and it sounds a lot easier than scrogging and fimming if the yields are relatively the same

    Would love to hear your preference and why

    Have a google at " cannabis manifold"

    Grow a plant to the 6th node, top at the third, and remove the 1st and 2nd node, leaving you with main stem, and 2 shoots.

    Let them grow to the third node, and top those, and remove the 2nd node, so you keep, 1st and 3rd nodes on those.

    Bit of training, and flower it when it's half the size you want it to be

    You grow using this? Have you supercropped?

    Right now I'm was in a scrog, but had to take them out. Long story, but I've never fully mainlined a plant, I've left these at 2 nodes and trained them 4 main branches out, but nothing like properly mainlining. Something is like to do fully, but really can only grow 1 plant properly if I'm mainlining it in my space.

    It'll be a fun project one day though.

    Super cropping though, I've done that, both accidentally and on purpose. Tbf, I've never noticed a missive difference in branches I've super cropped. But you really have to give a longer veg to do all this stuff.

    I prefer just a topping and super cropping. I've seen a few mainline grows on here but seem to take for ages to grow and imho it stresses the plant too much.
    Grow from seed, top at third node, let it all catch up from underneath, top all nodes again.
    From a clone, top when it gets 10"or so. Let it all catch up from underneath again then supercrop a couple of times.
    There's also monster cropping which is taking a clone a few weeks into flower, 're vegging and grow it back out. Grow some big ass plants that way ✌

    I agree but I think it's probably one for a future grow, I'm gonna walk before I can run I rekon.
    That's why I was asking about scrogging or supercropping, I'm all set up to scrog after a bit of fimming then I go and read a bit about supercropping and it looks more noob friendly unless I'm missing something.
    I want to yield well with the easiest noob friendly method of advanced growing techniques at this point.
