I gotta differ on use of the term 'supercrop'.

When I hear the term, it means maintaining a continuous canopy throughout an annual plant's growing season by use of progressively-larger growing containers.

This is what is done in commercial nurseries:

Seeds are started at fairly high density in flats or 6-pax, then thinned when it is apparent which are most vigorous.
If the first step was in flats, the seedlings are then pricked off into 6-pax for growing on.
When the plants become crowded, they are transplanted into just slightly larger containers, about 3" depending upon the type of plant and how closely they can be spaced. Gerbera daisies, for example, have a broad, stiff leaf spread, while basil, left unpinched, grows rapidly quite tall. Again, the goal is to maintain a canopy which uses every bit of light and space efficiently.
When the plants are larger, they may be potted-up yet again, or sold.

Having endured my share of the drudgery of a commercial nursery, I aim to mimic this in my home cannabis AND vegetable grows.

So we have dual duelling definitions...
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . what does everything mean?? alright, i've been reading as much as I can on this forum trying to figure out what techniques I want to use for my very first grow, but I'm confused as everyone just uses a series of letters to describe what they are doing! so if someone could please enlighten me, what do things like LST, LIT, SCROG, MIT, PBS, CIA, STD, HIV, BBC, etc. stand for? alright, most of those i haven't actually seen on here, but you get the idea!
