Rooting top of plant to create another root ball?
Layering is best done with woody stems, so use a mature shoot in the hopes the softer tissue won't rot, and will be better able to fight-off disease, fungi, bacteria. But again...artificail layering of a plant not pre-disposed to layering, is a cloning technique. It's not a technique performed to over-clock the plant growth systems. 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:
