Lay it down

[Gingerbeard]

Here is an option to topping off coco/soil or buttressing a seedling that gets leggy when the others do not. There is no need to bury the stalk. As it grows, what touches the coco will grow roots.

See...that might work for the plant...but it would be off-center and that would drive me wild. But it is something to consider.

't would be easy enough to bend it back around. I feel you on the geolocation.

Ive never seen this done on a seedling but i am very interested in the outcome. Is this done on Autos also Gingerbeard. I have 2 autos now that i have pushed over and they seemed to slow a bit.

These are autos, Mikey. It seems like the plant is not growing as tall as the others because it is growing out flat and up. This is no different than transplanting and bringing the soil up the main.
My past results with a main laying half covered have been mains half covered with roots. I don't have the coco so I'm not covering the whole thing.
