That is a good question. Because technically unless you separate the new shoot from the main plant, reason would tell you it is still 1 plant. But I would be curious how the law would be interpreted concerning plant count.By pinning down the tips and letting them root (called “simple layering”) you get multiple root systems on 1 plant. If you cut the new rooted tip-plants off, you’ve got dirt-cloning. But if you DON'T cut each new rooted plant loose from the main plant, isn’t it still just 1 plant with several sets of roots along it’s stems?
Since I only get 1 grow per year (greenhouse), I’d like to increase production while still staying within my legal limit number of plants.
I’m planning on doing this for my PAK next year. She’s a tiny thing, stays under 3’ but spreads wide (perfect for layering). Great production for such a small plant but I still can’t get more than 2-3oz (dry) off her. She does great in a 3-gal pot (organic soil). If I use a 20-gal pot and tip-rooted her 3 times (for a total of 4 “plants”), it should take less space than 4 separate plants. I figure she’ll need some extra veg time but I can just start her early. Common sense says I should get 4x finished buds, maybe more since technically each of the 4 “linked” plants can draw nutrients from any of the 4 root systems.
But is this still only 1 plant?

Thats the rebel spirit. :smoking:Even if it's all in 1 pot? I'm gonna try anyway.
Yes.Even if it's all in 1 pot? I'm gonna try anyway.
No, apple trees don't work this way. But it's how I (and most people) grow raspberries and strawberries. If PAK were a large plant, I could train her.Do apple orchards do this to get more fruit bodies?
You dont need to increase plant size you need to increase the amount of light reaching the bud sites. There are a few ways to do it, horizontal growing, supercropping and scrog, vertical lighting and lst.No, apple trees don't work this way.

The same goes for Urkle - she's a small bushy plant. I can mess with horizontal training all day, she's not gonna get any bigger. So I'm looking for a different angle to increase plant size while staying organic.

It's still one plant I'd imagine .would probably b a pain in the arse to do thoughThat is a good question.

It is actually fairly simple to do. I have tried air layering several times and it works great. But compared to traditional cloning it is more difficult and time consuming.It's still one plant I'd imagine .would probably b a pain in the arse to do though
