![]() ![]() A lot of work and very time consuming, lol. After these new tops have been rooted they can easily be cut away from the parent plant and carefully re-potted separately. In this way you could create a sort of super/monster cropped plant with many many tops spread out in a web from the mother plant. Now keep in mind in this first technique, the small top at the end of a long skinny branch is being supported by a large healthy adult plant which can also increase it resistance to disease – this branch is then, not unlike as is often done with grape or tomato vines, is trained and kinda weaved in and out of the soil so that the end top and some of the smaller branching nodes of this main branch are now all new tops poking out of the soil. This is also good if you don’t have any fresh green stalked branches to cut from your parent plant and all you have is “old woody” branches with nodes. This gives you a couple of advantages as the branch is continuously – water and nutritionally – supported by the parent plant and is only removed after some healthy roots are already grown. The technique of layering involves developing roots on a branch while it is still attached to the parent plant. It can be used to guarantee clone success without humidity domes or bubble cloners and where other cloning techniques are not possible. If in your situation you really feel being able to do this could give you certain advantages and you really wish to attempt this, I would recommend a technique called “Layering”. And this is where diseases could take advantage. This “bark” like skin is not designed to handle lots of moisture. In both plants the tissue above the soil, as it is exposed to light, develops a sort of tough skin that is kinda like bark on a tree, if you will. Tomatoes however are much more resistant to some of the things that will cause stem rot in cannabis. But it could also lead to stem rot in tomatoes as well. ![]() As latewood said, it could lead to stem rot.
