If you're growing an Auto I wouldn't super crop her. Autos are very sensitive. Maybe try some LST?

I just tried Supercropping (the node pinching type) and it really was a bad idea. Perhaps I didn't do it with the right strain, but I think there's only a couple strains that would take it okay. Probably only the XXL and so called "super autos" like Auto Ultimate or Think Different. At this point, I have to recommend against it. LST / tie down would be a much better idea.

they are clones 2 weeks in and i also have one xxl auto in the tent too , so do you think lst is more beneficial ?

If ya tight on room id go 12/12 on lights now in addition to lst.

have lots of room as in a 1.2x1.2 tent lots of head room just would like a greater yeild and have been reading that super cropping is a good way ?

Super cropping can work well with photo sensitive plants but is generally not recommended with autos. Photos, with their longer veg have time to recover. Autos, with their more or less fixed veg time, don't. Many of us have tried different experiments involving topping and cropping and in the end the plants take longer and there is no increase in yield. LST is by far the better option for autos.
