i am tempted to maybe topp the clones and use one of the topps as the new rootball, maybe ill try a side by side with either clone.

Alright Cork, I'm lurking over here in the corner so thought I'd say Hi! What do you mean by the above, I gathered from your diagram you need to use a connected branch to throw off the additional root mass? As opposed to a separate clone? Soz if I'm being dim!

left would be topping a plant as per normal, using one of the 2 topps, as the rooted branch, as shown by the first picture i showed at the beggining of the topic.

right would be growing a single topped plant, bending over and burying the topp, to create the 2nd rootball.

the only problem in my eyes could be the first one side fills faster than the other.

that's some interesting stuff cork! count me in for the ride! :lurk:

I have a question though... is it really more efficient when you have roots forming in two places? I mean wont the roots fill the entire pot in any case? I've always imagined that the root-mass is directly proportional to the size of the container not from how many places it roots from? kinda rambling here but can you understand what I'm trying to ask? nevertheless it is a nice experiment and I wish you good luck!

peace,

il be using rectangular pots, so if i plant in the middle, large proportions of soil to the wider sides of the plant, will have un-used soil, with 2 rootballs, the surface soil and the deeper soil will all be penatrated with roots.

That was kinda the answer I was leaning towards but thanks for clearing it up!
good luck!!

everythings looking good, the reveg is starting to come along, cant wait to get some cuttings off her, sooner the better, but i still want some nice strong clones going in.

i got some good news, i dont have to wait for the reveg anymore, rather just have to wait for some seeds ;)

ive been selected by ojd to test one of his crosses he has nicknamed "titainium" which is titans haze x g13haze.

im looking forward to it, sounds like a very sativa cross to me.

Cork - interesting idea. I'm looking forward to it almost as much as you are! I also remember seeing that hog grow, although, like everyone else, the grower's name escapes me...



As far as reducing plant numbers go... I imagine the piggies would just count the number of roots.

Hey I found it! 400w HOG (Halfpipe Of Green)

I think that's it anyway - he doesn't show the hood. Worth a look anyway!

Awesome news on the seeds - hope they go great man. There must be something wrong with my messaging system because no-one ever offers for me to be a test grower :( lol

cork144

aha scrub, ojd posted a topic asking for 14 testers, i was one of the lucky ones.:joint:

and nope unforciantly that isnt the grow :(

allthough that was actually the first HOG i saw.

cork144

i have to send £5 to sbay for postage, ill be sending the cash monday, then will hopefully have them by friday.

I might not be doing serp layering though, since this is a mostly sativa cross, it isnt going to help me for my insomnia so i might be doing a regular run of a couple of plants.

But i will be growing the titanium along side of some other clones.

but i WILL be doing the hog and serp layering on the grow afterwards.

sorry guys but my needs are going to have to come before experimenting this time:wallbash:

thanks INH, usually have to grow indicas for my back also, but that has been getting better over the last month or so.

im going to try 6 plants in 7.5l pots, raise the outer 4 pots abit and try a ministadium.

6 plants and 1.5oz per plant is a 9oz harvest, which should tie my over till the next one, but im not going to shoot that high yet, will have to see at the end, according all goes well

atleast i hope so
