Hey everyone.
As much as I love growing MJ, I also love my flower gardening just as much and my yard looks like b usch gardens. Some of the techniques used by flower gardeners apply very well to MJ, so I thought I would share one of the most beneficial that I have come across. Discovering this changed my entire approach to planting.
HORIZONTAL PLANTING TECHNIQUE.
This planting method wil increase the yield of many MJ strains by 3 times or more. A smaller plant that produces 4 oz, can produce 12 or more using this method;
Method:'
Start seedlings 30-45 days before transplant. Begin topping the plants as soon as possible and remove all branches from one side of the plant. Do not allow any branches to grow on one side of the plant.
Once the plants are 12- 16 " with branches growing on one side youre ready to plant.
Now, we're at the planting hole. Remove all of the skin from the side of the main stem which had the branches removed and dust the entire length of the main stem with rooting powder. Intead of inserting the plant in a vertical position, dig more of a ditch and lay the entire plant sideways in the ditch with the main rootball a little deeper than the stem/ at an angle. Cover the main roots and stem well and the main stem should have 1/2-1" of dirt on it. Make sure that all of the branches are sticking up through the soil.
Several weeks later, all of the branches sticking through the soil will become quasi- individual plants and actually appear as such. By the end of summer, it appears there are 5-6 plants planted in a 3' hole. Some side branch pruning early on will improve air flow around the plants and allow for good growth.
Yeild is multiplied in equivallent/ significant proportions.
My sensi stars often produce a pound or more with this method. It is my regular method and if you try it, you'll never plant another seedling upright in the hole.
