double root system?

... wondering if this would be possible...

-taking a clone, cutting off the tip, and planting both ends in seperate pots...

if it wouldn't, why not? and if it could, would it be any more efficient than having only one root system?

most of ur new growth comes from the top. i wouldn't do it but if you want to bend the plant sideways like that.. you could. so light hits the plant all over.

that seems intersting im going to try this

im lost. go into depth

if you click on the link the pic is pretty easy to understand.... the brown rectangles are pots and the squigily lines are the (possible) root systems... the green arch is the clone....-with mature buds ....

step by step theres two ways to do it...

1.
- cut clone (larger than you would a normal clone, make sure it has some flexability too...)
- then cut off the tip of the growth on the clone just beneath the last node -as to leave some stem to plant in the other pot...
- dip both ends of clone in some plant hormone or w/e you all prefer and stick both ends in seperate pots like you would a normal clone...

it should look like a MJ simies twin

2.
- just cut the top off a young plant in early vegitive state and bend it into another pot....

Dude. You can't do that, sorry. Plants grow with one root system. That would be like your mother just deciding that you need 6 arms. Doesn't work that way.

-um... -i dont see that as analigous at all... what do arms have to do with anything???

-just cause its wierd doesnt mean it cant work.... im looking for something with a little better reasoning than a one-sided guess...

I could see it try able, but what would be the benefits? I cant really think of any. If anything, it would take more work.

I think that would work, but this is even better imo

a combination of the two would be even better

**educated guess**.... the plant would be absorbing nutrients through two seperate root systems, capable of absorbing twice what the plant would with only one root system... therefore- faster growth and greater yield (maby better nugs)...

....I like that idea about burying the plant virticle in the dirt, basically turning the main stem into a big ass tap root... doesn't utilize the two pot idea im tryin for tho...

I've tried this, and it works great. I read it in some old book from the '60s or '70s. It also talked about grafting hops onto weed roots.

This sounds really interesting So keen to try!!! Anyone got pics for us to scope out this technique?

subcribed to u i want to see this in action! and the end result!

you wont have any top nug and that's always the biggest/dankest, even when you lst.
The plant can only have so much nutes in it, and two root systems absorbing nutes wouldn't help anymore than increasing the nute strength.
It would be fun just because it's different; But for the time and soil involved, it won't be worth your yeild.

it would help because some nutes are taken from the lower leaves and some are take from closest available area the new growth

you would have to test it to get any real answers though

the point of lsting is to make all nugs 'top' nugs....

and its not LST anyways...

after the plant gets growing, it will look like a normal MJ bush.... just commin outta two pots...

-To my understanding you can only add nutes to a certain point when the PH starts gettin fucked up and you get lockout.... two root systems would essentially enable the plant to absorb 2x the nutes you normally could without worry of lockout...

Yes, but even when you LST, having every bud equal to the light, the nug at the end of the stem always turns out the biggest.

in some situations yes... but with proper side lighting it could make the difference between the top nugs and bottom nugs unnoticeable... -getting off topic...

-just noticed a few seedlings that popped up in my backyard... ill get a journal started soon... outdoor... ill get this shit started when the plant gets big enough to take clones... looks like there isnt any other way to get answers...

Not true at all, it depends entirely on how much light each bud receives. I have a few plants right now where the crown bud is quite a bit smaller than the largest buds. Its a matter of technique.
