    sally crushing the stem is part of a training technique called supercropping - it's basically the lesser of 2 evils as trying to bend the stems without doing it can result in a snapped stem which may even kill the branch if it snaps badly . G

    as long as the plants have atleast a week or 2 too recover before you flip them into 12/12 you can do it as late as you want . G

    Great guide G, interesting point i see that you top, then stage 2 is supercropping an LST, I'm going with your method on my next Photo grows for sure, i have never topp'ed or supercropped i just use agressive LST and train the bend slowly to spread the canopy like that so after 8 week veg the DWC bucket has string everywhere pulling down all the main stems, awesome now i can see how you do it, I'm always a bit scared to top a plant so far but will read more and go for it, no fear about supercropping an LST though, cheers for the excellent information man.

    the reason why i use supercropping and topping is because it actually stalls the growth of the effected area for a day or 3 which allows the surrounding growth to catch up - i have tried using lst on it's own before but have not found it quite as effective plus as you said you end up with masses of string everywhere to try and keep everything down .G

    Hey man,
    I can see the results from your pictures but i cant actually see what your remove or tie down. Any chance of some better close up pics of all the action that's going on next time round?

    Good effort posting this info up so thanks for that.

    hi mate , The only thing i remove during the whole training system is the set of fan leaves from the node at which i top the plant which i though was pretty easy to understand and follow if i'm honest . Also as it says in the guide , you supercrop and tie down every branch as the whole point of the system is to keep everything flat . I would recommend that this system only really be attempted by more experienced growers which is why i did not feel the need to patronize people by posting pics of every little detail as anyone with a decent amount of growing experience should be able to accomplish the guide very easily and tbh a fair few have already .G
