Wondering if anyone has tried this....

Been a while since I've posted, but at the end of this harvest season, I randomly tried an experiment.....wondering if anyone has tried this because I don't have enough time to see if it made a difference for me.

So basically, a friend of a friend started growing 10 Lemon Haze plants (I belilve that was the strain....) under a grand total of 80 CFL watts....I tried explaining the error in her ways, but she claimed she knew exactly what she was doing. I kinda wanted to slap some sense into her....but instead, i bought one of her plants for $20 right as they were starting the flowering stage. so the plant was about 2" tall, stretched to hell, but when i brought her home, i clipped all of the bottom stems and buried her main stalk about a foot in the ground.

My thought process at the time was the extra foot buried in the ground would sprout more root points. Mostly because I'm trying to cram 12 weeks of flowering into 8 weeks....the nights are now getting to the freezing point but she's still surviving. she's already survived a snow day :) Any thoughts on this theory? because I'm planning a few outdoor grows this next spring

$20.00 for a 2 inch plant stretched at that...?
doode are you wanting sex with her,
as you may be going about it the wrong way ..???

Regardless the method you have described of growing
it out to a foot or so, is popular with many in the east
who are forced to grow outside, in late winter early spring,
digging deep holes ensures the plant can get water easy
and are strong enough to deal with bugs and weather

better to just take the babe for a coffee?
and no, unless you offer extra lights
it curtains for your $20, plant

The plant sounds weak and you don't have enough time, short by Weeks! Don't waste the time, unless you want to save the strain. You could nurse back to health.
Just put it under 18/6 and Reveg and then use as mother plant to take clones from.

I think it's better to buy at least a 400 watt HPS for a better plant.

what exactly are you asking if anyone has tried? Burying the plant deep in the ground with no fan leaves or planting extremely late in the season outdoors????
