Growing cannabis sideways

[savagepossum]

:S2: no really i'm serious

i was thinking how this would solve alot of my problems such as height restrictions and such. here is my crappy diagram

(plants) (lights)

i was thinking i could handle supporting the plants to stay upright easily enough with some sort of support structure.
i'd also have to think of how to keep the soil from falling out of the pot (should be easily done)

As for watering i could cut a hole on the plant pots side and water through there with drainage holes on the opposite side

all comments,ideas, ect welcome and i hope to here some feedback

I think I saw something like that in here.

hey thats a really cool link thanks for that

[savagepossum]

i actually had a better idea now thanks to that link were you can still grow it sideways with the plant pot upright using a method similar to lst

[Lozt]

Yeah that is actually a growing method for other plants I was in school for hort engineering. and that is a growing method call Topisim I was stoned allot so its a little fuzzy but The advantages are The plant is constantly fighting gravity so in turn it grows stronger. They actuall dont do it side ways but rather up side down..

Try it out U might be impressed

I was going to suggest planting the germed seeds in a hole in the side of an upright pot, but yeah training will probably work just as well. Good luck on your sideways grow! :jointsmile:

yeah u could just train it to grow sideways, alot easier imo.

[savagepossum]

any other suggestions would be really helpful too if anyone knows

Tropism is a tendency of a plant to grow towards something... plants display PHOTOtropism... growing towards light
GEOtropism... growing relative to gravity (how seedlings find their way out of the dirt)

Cannabis will always grow towards the light no matter which way you orient its stem. And THAT is just simple training. If you want it to truly grow sideways, you're going to have to give only side light from one direction.

yo ive done that before growin sideways plants under my ex girlfriends house in the crawlspace
i dont know how or where ya growin ya didnt really give me a good description of the environment but long story short run a line cloths line or parachute cord work well about 6inches off the top of the pot or tub or what ever ya growin in place the pot on one side of the grow are and the light on the other then train your plant to the line that going to the light ill hook a picture up in not good at describing shit
