Hey fellow hobbyists!
Knowing that you can root cuttings from your favorite strain of cannabis, I am thinking that you can also LST (LowStressTrain) a stem or more from a single plant into neighboring homemade self-contained growing boxes (AKA earthbox) and pin it down to the potting mix at the nodes, keep the soil moist and in time they will root in. I am thinking of attempting an experiment for an indoor grow of Arjan's Haze#1 from 2 remaining seeds that I have had stored in the freezer for the last 5 years that I successfully germinated a few weeks ago and they are growing strong. My thought (or theory) is that if I LST branches across 3 consecutive grow boxes that they would root in and take off more quickly than cloning. And of course all side shoots on these lateral branches would be left alone to head on upwards. There would be no topping off. Just more LST of branches that wouldnt be rooted in and eventually some pruning of the lower branches to let air in underneath.
I am curious to know if anybody has ever tried this before and if it worked out for them.
