Arching plants----> two root masses

[Mayor Uhana]

Hey all,

Saw this on the site a few days ago but cant seem to find it now. Suposedly if you bend over the top of your plant and bury it so the plant arches, the old top of the plant will grow roots and the plant will grow in the arch...thats two root masses per one plant

If this actually works, it would help greatly with the ongoing camoflage problem as it wouldnt look like your normal pot plant.

Im thinking that the plant would need to be slowly trained down to the soil, maybe being bent with string a few times. Once the top is in the dirt, what would it take to get it to root? Im guessing the growth tip would have to be mangles, and some root hormone possibley added through watering that one side.

Any thoughts?...anyone do this before?

Thanks
Uhana

it'll work mayor, im not positive but this might just be another way of cloning for people without cloning gel.people usually cut the plants apart after its well rooted, now if you left them together and did this a few times it would really be intresting to see how it would effect the yeild ,cause everyone tells me the bigger the rootmass-the bigger the plant and -the bigger the yeild.now if you had multiple rootmasses If i were you i would do this in containers so the rootmasses dont get tanngled.hope i was of help

lol stoners get some crazy ideas I dont think its possible but i'd love to be proved wrong.

Taking one of the lower secondary branches and running it sideways, through a cup full of soil will produce fresh roots on the branch, if you scar the buried section, with a sharp razor blade.

The term used to descibe it, eludes me at the moment but, is a proven cloning method.

It would be fun to see how the mayors idea would work, training the plant in a serpentine fashion though the soil.

enjoy

its called air layering and it works fine...

 

[Mayor Uhana]

wow, someone could do some crazy shit this way. Imagine putting big plants out(mid May where Im from) with like 7 main stems, and training them from the beginning. Plant your plant so that it is already bent over, and tie supports around the branches. . Eventually you could train your plant to look like a 7 sided star (birdseye view). It will probably take another month or two for the plant to be firmly rooted in the ground at 7 rootball sites (one plant). It would look more like a regular bush compared to the generic christmas tree shape. Goddamn I think Im gona try this

people, even people who know dope would look at this and not recognise it. i cant believe I havent seen this in a NorCali thread or something...you could grow some HUGE PLANTS!!!

 

[sunnyside]

well it will be disguised for a bit...but the plants will reorient themselves to the light source. I believe what leo looks for is the color of the plants.

 

[Mayor Uhana]

bah yea your right but I think it would help protect you at least somewhat by changing the shape so drastically. Id be interested to see what it does for a yeild as well...someone should compare a regular grown plant to one of these with 2+ rootmasses.

Sure it would work, it work just fine. Not sure about putting the top growth tip straight in the dirt, but any other nodes would work fine. The new roots would surely give some extra area to absorb water and nutes from. As long as the plant can compete with the native vegitation while being tied over. It would definately help to dig a hole and amend the soil for each place where the branch goes down into the soil. After its rooted, if you wanted to, you could dig up the new rootball and cut off the stem to the original rootball, then you have a rooted clone. and a topped branch from the mother.

This would require some more work for the digging of other holes, but with more room for surface roots, there would likely be better water absorbtion when water lands on the soil. Another way to look at it though, if you're goin to spend the time diggin these extra holes for the layering, you could spend that time digging a big monster madman hole.

listen to sunny.

LOL!!
it (air layering) is meant for dividing plants aka cloning, not making two trunks to "disguise" the plant LMFAO don't you understand that once the plant goes into flower it makes buds? it'll just look like TWO pot plants! LOLthese posts just keep getting better and better...

your outta yer cotton pickin mind.
you can fit a few pots in the space it would take to do bend this over and root anew the way you are talkin about doin it, into earth or a container on the ground
the 'sog' style would be a ton more efficient.

as far as indoor goes, again, your friggin nutz.
the extra veg time and space needed make it not worth the floor space.
a perpetual grower could never do this.
its silly, period.

a good way to clone with little to no resources in the wilderness, but not as you
describe, good try tho.

Is this common practice at IC to "quote" someone and add your own text, after the fact to thier quote?

Why quote him Captain Jack, if your just going to change the quote to make you look like some intellectual entity.

Watch Us grow, Help Us grow, or get out of the way!

i just noticed i misread his reply i quoted, i actually regret posting to this lame thread at all its just i thought he was takin a shot at sunny, again, in haste, didnt read well, he said "ya your right" not the ignorant sounding, , "Ya right" i misread it as.

sorry for the "slanderous postings" i wasn't being malicious in any way, if calling someone a mayor of meatballs b/c his avy is a fat dude i dunno, i guess ban me

Posters who speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude will be banned. Repeated posts directed with hostility at a particular person or group of people or their beliefs will be cause for banning.

Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait.

whatever man you were doing that too. I think its a fair topic just because Ive never seen it done and am interested to see it. Ill bet I could grow a bigger plant if it had two root masses...you know this is true too. It dont matter if it takes longer...just the idea of growing the biggest plant ever is enough for some.

 

[Guest]

I can see you are a person of the highest caliber, and a very productive member here at IC. Its too bad al these folks are giving you a hard time, and so much attitude, when will ever learn?

I like to think i'm one of THE most productive members here at ic....salty or not........if you dont like me, call me a "fucking prick" , sticks and stones, you just have a grudge b/c of the thread i started aimed at admin to get moderators to do their jobs deleting and moving off topic postings and it was turned into me thinking im better than everyone? by a few of these newer refugee members in the ICM SWAMPED MEMBERS FORUM, and since you didnt like what i had to say there, or pissed because your friend has a proble with me, you all will continue to follow me around and stick ijn little low-blows where ever you can, all i know is your post was trolling and you've got a problem with me because of your friends spat with me in another thread.

this is the basic type of thing youd find at og, a thread EXACTLY like this, every damn thread at that site included trolling, kids asking lame questions, off topic postings, etc and this is why i signed up here in the first place...cant you people see that? cant you people see that this place was a site new or advanced growers could come to share grows, experience, compare notes, and those experienced could offer assistance to up-and-coming newbs, without the hassle of trolls or under aged children, etc etc, where a little fight on the boards was rare, it just never happened much at all, because people weren't trolls, none of this was liek this, this is hell... and after my post regarding such matters, i have continuously been attacked by every og'er that has a chance.
(my post was negative in some areas because i thought this new member was telling off a long-time senior member of the site after offering the proper advice, i read it worng, and apologized, why can't it be left at that and not all the hate after the clarification was made? its bullshit, and you people need to let go of whatever grudge you have against me or this site as a whole and either get along, or move along to somewhere you feel more at home, but your old site aint comi9n back online, not anytime this decade, so lets try to coexist here in peace, from this point on)

this will be my last post/last time ill be visiting in this unholy thread so BASH ME ALL YOU WANT...Captain Skunk, lead the way,

Fuckin' prick!

i hope you all the best in your grows and in your lives
