So allegedly this guy in Northern California is pulling 15-18lbs per plant by vegging them in an 8 inch diameter PVC pipe until they grow to about 5 ft tall, stripping the entire plant of branches/foliage, cutting the stalk in half and then into fourths, and then coating that with a root stimulator, and burying it in 5 ft of soil...

Skip to 43:55 it's an interesting conversation

Surprised that cutting all of the leaves off doesn't kill the plant. Do you know what the root tone product is he's talking about?

He doesnt cut the crown of the plant I am assuming....plant still thrives with any leaves. No idea on the root tone
Root Tone is a brand of rooting compound. I take it he is splitting the stalk the long way, then coating with the root stuff and burying it. Or is the four way stalk we see in the video the split part?

Sounds like he was splitting long way in half then half again to make the 4.
