Growing Sideways

Is it possible to grow the plant sideways in an effort to utilize some "under the bed" space?

You've seen the upside down tomato growers right? Why wouldnt you be able to grow it sideways?

Marijuana always grows up. No matter what you do to it. Top, LST, ect... Tomato plants grow which ever way you train them.

Absolutely, it's called training. once you have 3 nodes at the lest you can put holes in the sides of the container around the rim and tgently and loosely (you don't want to strangle the plant) loop a string through the holes in the container and around the plant so that it goes sideways. The plant will lean sideways then immediately try to grow back upwards. cut away any growth growing down and keep air circulating or you'll risk mold growth. This technique is awesome for sea of green and screen of green and is best done two new nodes after topping (pinching). Hope this helps.

cougar is correct, even if you grew the cannabis plant upside down it would attempt to grow up, if you tried to grow it sideways it'd still grow up.
