Is Supercropping and Topping Still Safe in Flowering Week 2?

At the end of flowering week 2, after supercropping and removing a few of the highest tops because of limited height, how much additional stretch would you still expect from this point, with such training at this phase?
Solved
Week 1
Plant. Too tall

During the stretch week 2 I added lst clips to keep them away from light it worked well. Personally no super cropping after week 2. Recovery time might slow them down. Not science just the way I got by

Hi Bud... You can expect another 1 to 3 inches of stretch left in them. They usually will stop the stretch when the resin starts to show around the end of week 3 and into week 4. You should be OK. Tips to help for next time... Topping is HST and shouldn't be done after flowering starts. All topping's should be finished about 5 days before flowering starts so the plants can heal. Super Cropping is a great way to handle stretching and can be done up to week 4 of flowering. As long as the bark doesn't split, the bends heal quickly. So, when Super Cropping, you want to knead/bruise the 2 inch area of the branch where you want to bend to be, so it doesn't split. If it does split put some sulphur on it to help heal it quickly.
