Can I supercrop the main stem.

I have a fairly large plant growing outdoors and I have some questions on supercropping. Can I crush the main stem at the bottom ie. The thickest part, without bending it. In theory it should increase the sturdiness and nutrient flow rate right? Also can I crush every single area on the branches without bending to essentially supercrop the whole branch, essentially turning it into a tree branch?

I doubt you can accomplish that successfully. Supercropping is meant for flexible shoots. Roll and bend method without breaking skin or snapping it.

Crushing the main stem would just jeopardize the stability of the whole plant. If others have experience with this, I'm all ears.

I would not suggest it. Tie it down. Pull a little bit tighter every day. It will go. Next run try growing the stater with a plastic lid on the pot with a hole larger than the plant stem in the middle of it. You can then grow it on it's side and it did all the training for you. Transplant with pot right side up and tie it down. Problem solved. No fuss. I grew bonsai for a while. .

I supercrop every plant. I don’t suggest doing what you are thinking. Are you just looking to stress it for increased THC?
