Growing a plant almost sideways?

Strawberry

Well-Known Member
So guys i been looking and from what i can see the top bud is always the biggest and nicest.... so what if when my plant reachs say 2 and half or 3 feet i lean it almost sideways. going from one top to maybe 15 or 20 tops once they all start growing to the light. has anyone done this or anyone know if maybe this would work well?

Works well, but need to support the branch though...
 
sweet man and im sure need a few extra lights (1000watt) as this will take up alot more room. and how the hell do i add a avitor picture ;)
 
You should look into supercropping. Its basically the same idea but pinching the stem to partially break it then letting it heal and it will have an elbow...You can do it with multiple branches....Probably more effective than trying to tilt the pots or however you are planning on doing it

:bigjoint: :peace:
 
i figure 30 side way plants 3 feet long are going to take up alot more room then my 30 plants standing..... and as of now i just have them under 1 1000 watt cause there only in small pots and 7 to 12" tall but i do have my second one set up. the rooms 9 feet buy 9 feet and 10 feet tall but all only be using about 5 feet buy 10 feet i figure with them standing. AND HOW DO I PUT UP A PICTURE? I need to rep a nice red strawberry

Are they into flowering yet? If so, they won't get much taller.. Why not top them?.

Go to My rollitup scroll down that..to my profile..it's all in there..
 
not even close to flowering nope i was just wondering i watched a video on the super crop'n and its seem very easy im just going to use that method when times comes seems like it will work very well. THANKS GUYS

Yup supercropping is pretty nifty. When im really trying to shape a plant I do a combination of LST and supercropping
 
I grew this plant outdoors last year with a combination of topping and supercropping. I didn't want it to get too tall. Worked out well, got 14 oz cured.

With that many plants, a co2 tank system is best. Make a manifold with as many taps as plants, then run individual tubes to each plant..easiest method of increasing co2 effectively and least expense..
 
sounds alright yeah i was wondering about the co2 thing was just going to do some reading on it. and buddy that plant you got going out out side hands down most beautiful plant ive seen. if i can get 14oz a plant i would devot my hole life to growing weed. fuck my electrical career lol And buddy how did you get that pet squerl ?? shit is fricken dope i thought my parrot was kick ass for $2ooo bucks a damn squerl would have been cheaper and probably more kick ass

One of my cats brought it to me as a 3 week old baby. He stayed with us a year, then he discovered girl squirrels.. To get 14oz per plant, they'll have to be real bushy..
 
14 oz for real. I'm giving up on indoor hydro, the best I've ever got is 16 oz total from 8 plants. I can grow 6 plants outdoor and get double what I get from a whole year indoors. And it's far easier, no electric bills, no perpetual testing, flushing,...etc.
 
haha yeah man out door would be nice for me also we got some nice warm summers but shit i would have to shit kick alot of punks.... and i also got huge houses all around me there would be no way to hide them even with a fence... all these house are at least 2 storys ...... shitty deals

Do Low Stress Training.The plants can be laid almost flat on the ground..
 
yeah so the best idea would maybe frow it ta 4 feet then toes it outside for awhile maybe would be alot easyier to hide when laying flat..
 
well dude, how well its hidden kind of depends on what you can and cannot have in your backyard.......You can LST and supercrop at any point in the plants life but the further you get into flowering the harder its going to be and the less effect it will have
