well the thing is if caught with one plant is better than with 4
i am trying get more out of one plant at a time i am currently getting 100+grams
i want to know has any1 grown one sideways that the lenght of the plant
can grow buds from it and not just the top of the plant?
i know can get buds from the bottom but are small or to small
if any knows great if not i will be trying with my next one in a few weeks
not a hevy smoker just hard to get hold of it here handy haven it when i want
better to have than to be looking for
i know about grown and then bending the plant over when gets to near the light
as this is what gave me the idea
1, bend the plant as it grows
2, grow then place on its side
3, ?
any info would be great thanks guys:thumbsup:

You want the top of the plant to be slightly lower than the rest of the stem. This makes the side buds "think" that they have a chance of being "top bud" and they grow accordingly. (I could explain it discussing auxins and other hormones, but the "simple version" will do in this case.) Go for it, hon. You will love the results! The buds won't be quite as big as a normal terminal bud, but they will be "decent sized" and there are more of them.
I use weights (old bolts hung by twist-ties like Xmas ornaments) to bend mine, but stakes also work. Don't let the leaves touch the ground. Otherwise, it's easy to do. :thumbsup: You don't need to tip the pot, just make the plant grow at a right angle to the ground- like an "L" tipped over.

going to give it a go with my next plant
as my harvest has all been around the same weight for the last year and a half
and have my set up going well and cheap to run as using the 200w eco light
same results as the 600w as i said before only one plant at a time
ya can get the eco lights in different light range red/blue/amber
just change the bulb for the different phase of growth
and have a bathroom heater in there only a 50w draw on it
fan is only 35 watt and pc fan to draw air in using a solar panel to power it
and just as i started i switched all the light bulbs in the house to the energy saving
as no difference in power
and as far as my mates know i buy my weed of some guy who doesnt deal
i will just put up a post with the whole lot from start to finish when i do this
around about april 2010 till then
