Taking clones at a super crop knuckle instead of a node

wow sorry, haha. I meant to reply to your post a couple days back when I first read and saw the pic.
I wanted to reply and compliment how nice and clean your grow space and plants look. Nicely groomed look.
But I guess I was really stoned and was day dreaming as I stared at your plants.
It slipped my mind what I wanted to say in a reply and just never did.

lol, thanks, I often forget posts until someone else posts a reply and I get a notification, specially sampling the wares
Just got that room running this past spring, only flower in there, don't store anything in there but the plants, makes it easier to keep clean. Cheers.

Oh wow! ;D This was unexpected. This is so bad too considering how i was already calling these plants Maijuanaica because of how the solid copper wire looks like candy canes. Fast forward about two months and I'm still training these same plants, and oh wow. Look at how they look now.I started to train the little mothers that I plan to super crop before taking clones.
I started to train them tonight and rapidly realized that It looked like I was being festive and had trained them with candy canes.
It is actually insulated solid copper wire. I cut small lengths and bend one into a U shape to stake down a branch, but it was too short.
So I just bend a hook at one end and then I had enough length to go in the soil deep enough to hold the branch down.
Starting to look like Marijuanica.

When the plant was getting burned by the lights I just twisted the colas to the side and staked them down again.
I tolled it 4 nodes from the bottom. Let it grow a bit more to get the branches growing to the sides. Then the shoots reached the light i clipped all the shoots from the middle away, and then restacked the 4 colas down harder. Then clipped some more so it was just a few shoots on the ends of the 4 main colas which where mostly stripper bare. But then those nodes at the end started to go up and the ends were touching the light so i just twisted those 4 ends down to the left all the way around. This is the result. these plants are way low too.

Sorry to bump an Old thread on my first post, I've not found anything about this anywhere other than this so far.
Forget cloning, imagine if you snapped a plant to form a knuckle higher up the plant, say, 2 feet, put rooting gel or whatever on it, bend that down to the medium and bury it, still joined slightly but bent to whatever you're prepared to bend it to, tie it and then you have double the root system, reduced height and... a kinda self training plant? once rooted.
I saw video that cannabis does have the ability to grow... root down... grow... along the ground like ivy, I'm thinking you could have a super healthy plant with a root system feeding the first 2 feet of the plant from both ends and also a fresh root system for the top part of your main stem.
At the moment I'm struggling to to see why it wouldn't work, love to know what you all think
Hello btw, I'm an experienced gardener, fairly new to weed growing, I'm quite experimental and will quite happily lose a plant or two in the process. I may do a post as I'm already busting myths here and there and I've only just begun!

I think you could do it...some varieties would like it better than others imo. Not sure what the advantage is, seems like a potential way to introduce disease and pests. Just curious, what is the reason you want to do this?Sorry to bump an Old thread on my first post, I've not found anything about this anywhere other than this so far.

Is that a double fuck?
