Super cropping, LST, and FIM questions.

I'm planning for my first grow, and I have a question about using these different techniques. Would it be possible to use all 3 at the same time?
What I had in mind would be to LST my plants and on each side branch that comes up I would super crop and then FIM the tops.
Would this be too much stress on the plant? Would this plan even increase the yield or would it decrease it from stress?
Thanks for the help.

No u could do it, but what I'd do is just FIM the main cola, then super crop it, and from there u can lst/supercrop the other branches. I did that to this one plant here, except I topped it not FIM. This 2nd pic here is pretty much the same thing except I think I FIM'd it cause I think I fuckin missed hence the term FIM(fuck I missed). Or wait sorry Im dumb, I actually did top quite a few of the lower branches on both of these plants. And a couple I just screwed up tryin to supercrop and broke the tip off so it ended up with 2 tops.

I like the combination of FIMing and LST. I haven't tried supercropping yet but i'm sure you could do it all
