Same difference. With supercropping you’re wanting to damage the internal of the plant structure and it will heal up stronger than before. Kyle Kushman has a good video on YouTube explaining it.

Yeah, I’ve watched his vids on that. I’d like for him to show me that technique in person so I can see exactly how he is doing it.

It’s not hard to do. I freaked out the first time I did it and broke some branches. Luckily electrical tape is awesome for repairs. Just don’t forget to remove it after a few days. I use both hands first finger and thumb, place them close together and twist gently in opposite directions until you feel the internal snap, then just move up the plant every couple inches until I’m done. I crack stems all the way to flip. The older growth will go woody and tough and won’t crack anymore. He’s right about waiting until they’re a foot tall also.

OK, you convinced me. I’ll try on a clone. Are you grabbing a node in each hand and twisting the section between them?

Usually once they’re a foot tall there’s enough room to just grab stem. Go slow and get a feel for it. Once you do it’s super easy and I do it every week. I practiced on my first grow. I was “gifted” a mystery box of clones. Dude popped seeds labeled nothing then starved them. I brought them back and used supercropping to get them strong.

Call stem crushing what you want. Don’t get caught up on labels. No one has recently invented any training or pruning techniques. People have been doing this shit for thousands of years.

What’s up jmystro!
