m0useanswered grow question 2d ago Don't top. Supercrop or trellis them down.
This is a google defination of it.
Supercropping is a high-stress training technique in cannabis cultivation where you intentionally damage a plant's stem to encourage bushier growth and increased yields. By slightly breaking the inner fibers of a stem, while keeping the outer layer intact, you can bend the branch to a new position. This controlled stress encourages the plant to heal and strengthen the damaged area, forming a "knuckle" that provides support for buds during flowering.
