    Also, very interesting theory. It should be easy enough to test out.

If anything, do you know what stressing the ladies usually does?

    I do encourage experimentation if you can afford the setback in your growroom in providing you your meds. But since you seem to want to try regardless, and you feel it's worth the effort, and if risking your meds isn't so bad...then I'd say go for it. But I already mentioned a major problem you'll encounter. Many before you have tried to re-invent the wheel, but I guarantee it'll be a learning experience for ya.

    One plant, one pot. And beware of additives that promise the world. Just a heads-up, as some folks seem pre-disposed to finding a shortcut to proper plant biology. But alas...there is no shortcut beyond learning solid techniques. :thumbsup:
    not too mention in this old ass post, cloning in the normal fashion would be quicker, so what would be the point other than to experiment(which im guilty of.) further any disease or nute/ph issues will affect the plant as a single plant instead of many seperate plants. if it were like a vine and outdoors id say, rock on:thumbsup: however it will not regrowth every season.

    Rooting top of plant to create another root ball?

    I just played around with strechting to try to fill a closet with lsting. Its going to be a great reveg! and it out produced the other three flowers. wasnt fair but I could tell it still would have, it looks like a giant "m" scrog. I digress:jointsmile: but I had the same idea but im going with rusties idea about taping it tight with gauze and keep it moist with a plastice bag. I will also make the bag of dirt big enough to weigh down the top/new rootball. Lsting without the work. plus while the new rootsite is healing/growing some of those middle nodes will turn sideways and compete for the tittle of "top bud". wishfull thinking... no ...not yet... what caught my interest in this experment was, I have seen a tree uproot, fall over, bury its top, into a power line. to make one seed into mutiple plants would be well worth all the risk/hassle.But I think will still grow another plant just cajoined... like almost grafted together type deal... that would be my luck. But yea Im in it for the experment.
