Size control /scrog/ squeezing training combo is needed, How do I combine?

I'm about to increase branches development. I'm interested in squeezing stem near top technique. Is it exactly super cropping? How often should stem be squeezed? Should I just let plants grow through SCROG? I'm afraid of overgrowing of WCOG and SLHA in my larger 7 and 5 l pots.

Hey Mate, the Idea of a SCROG is to bring every blossom on the same Level with a screen you place at a certain height. So that every Budsite will get the same amount of light. You have to integrate the plant into the net/screen and if your screen is full with plants about 70% you change to bloom.. works well on Photos, but I'm afraid the Autos will have too less lifespan to fill up a decent scrog-net. HST as you describe it, is a good way to keep the canopy on a Level. Autos maybe don't have the time to recover if you apply more HST on them. Hope this helps a bit, good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞 Servus OimRausch

I can afford around 70-80 cm (30 in) tall plant size. I got three pot sizes (7,5,2 liters) and I suspect that WCOG in 7 l air pot could overgrow 1 m if I don't stop it. I'm thinking about increasing branches development. As far as I know squeezing stem near top is less stress alter to topping or fiming for autos. Is that exactly super cropping? If yo do like that, could you give some Intel please. How often should stem be squeezed. What else would you do to maximize the yield with this this setup?

For such HST I'd choose a strain where I know that they are thriving. In your case the Doctors Choice Damsel, they r going crazy and have the capability to recover fast.

It's more akin to topping... by damaging the terminal node, it'll cause auxin to spread below on that brachn, which will spur on growth. supercropping invovled breaking a branch, usually one that has grown too tall relative to canopy or simply not enough space, and then taped / mended/ shaped to grow horizontally. I'd reserve that for times of need. use the screen to spread out plant to fill space you intend, then let it grow vertically. Try to get 1 cola per 4-6" x 4-6" slot. Helps organize and ensure you have spacing around each for proper airflow. I have not tried a squeezing technique. it should be near top... probably want some squish but not total vascular tissue damage. that one is new to me, but does work. Backbuilding (thnk i got name right) is another option to look into.. you can take off a portion at top and like topping, it'll cause an increase in growth below.
