By pinning down the tips and letting them root (called āsimple layeringā) you get multiple root systems on 1 plant. If you cut the new rooted tip-plants off, youāve got dirt-cloning. But if you DON'T cut each new rooted plant loose from the main plant, isnāt it still just 1 plant with several sets of roots along itās stems?
Since I only get 1 grow per year (greenhouse), Iād like to increase production while still staying within my legal limit number of plants.
Iām planning on doing this for my PAK next year. Sheās a tiny thing, stays under 3ā but spreads wide (perfect for layering). Great production for such a small plant but I still canāt 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 āplantsā), it should take less space than 4 separate plants. I figure sheāll 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 ālinkedā plants can draw nutrients from any of the 4 root systems.
But is this still only 1 plant?
