i guess if u supercrop,let it grow,top it,and let it grow some more....u could get double the colas that u have

how does breaking the fibers in branches so they rebuild stronger make them the same height?
topping has a better chance of making the plant a more uniform height
because it allows the bud producing branches to grow in height and reach the same height as the top of the plant.. i think.
am i right tho. can someone explain what i should do after i top or before, in detail? like top, then wait, supercrop main stem and some branches. OR super crop, top, something, something..

when u supercrop u crimp the main stem so it lays sideways.....the effect of that cause will make the lower shoots come up to the same,making them all colas.....
so tell me ur definition of supercropping....and tell me y they wont be the same heighth

yes u should top before u supercrop
but that isnt what u asked at first
personally i would fim first,then lst the new shoots

ok, ok i stand corrected from that point.
if you top a plant and and supercrop all of the branches then they would be regenerating at the same pace, therefore staying fairly the same as before, just stronger branches that produce better
sorry i just assumed more than the main stem would be super cropped

yes, fimming, or at least an attempt at this will leave you with just as many shoots as topping if it doesnt work out, but if you get lucky your first shot you will be way better off then just topping.
if you go this route, you can still super crop and lst. really this combination is as good as it gets. you will end up with a bush of weed
that is defininetely what you should do if you want to go all out

i top then super crop also, 1 plant had 24 colas when it all said and done. when you go to bend the branhs be careful not to snap them. gentley mush them intead of bending them. if you go down far enough the branch will fall over and you will have no problems. by croping the tallest, you force hormones to the now taller branhes. these new taller brances think they are the top dawgs. then go and crop them next and so forth. croping also lets extra light in and you plant will be beatiful. i was scared at the thought of super cropping, but after the the results i had i will super crop every plant from now on. good luck

i would fim,let it grow so the new shoots get some size,then lst or supercrop the new shoots in diff directions,and let it grow
