Take yer whole plant and lay it on it's side. just make sure the planter is on a chair or something so the whole plant is in the air. It will work great for those tall plants that havent been clipped. also you may not want to do it right after feeding so all yer nutes dont leak out. :thumbsup:

whats the matter Zandor???? I figured you would get it. lol
it involves no tying down of tall plants. the buds all the way to the bottom will grow up sideways like a one plant sog. you will get more even light distribution to your plants that way.

this is how you can get the lower leaves to get more light

harmonic, post a pic. This method just does not seem reasonable.

has anyone ever thought of makeing a pot that will allow you to lay on the side, when the plants get to tall.2 opening sites for feeding and draining

I saw a pot in readers digest that hangs and has a hole for the plant on the bottom to grow out of with draw strings to make sure no dirt falls out.

Ya man those are them, I believe they are made in Tennessee and were the product of the year or one of them in readers digest in Dec of last year.

well as long as you didnt just water the dirt will stay in the pots. otherwise the water would wash it out. but yeah I saw a long time ago in High times where this dude had an outdoor plant that got bent at the base by 90 degrees and grew tons of buds sideways. why have to bend the stem or tie it down when you can just lay the whole thing on its side???? takes 2 seconds

Then why not hang it upside down to light the lower parts? Or you can have it on a BBQ rotary thing and it can rotate around the light like a turkey.....hehehe

Make your own Omega Garden that way.

one more important detail.....
grow your plant to a hieght of 1 foot or so then pet into flower for 2 to 3 weeks so it stretches and had a hard main stalk. by this time when you put it on its side ALL budding sites can recieve equal light and they will all grow up at the same rate.
back to the spinning idea......
encase the pots in pvc piping and hook to some sort of motor and use skateboard wheel bearings on the bottom. hmmmmmmmm
but then the buds wont gow upwards. as long as they get more mass I guess
