swim is afraid of the internet so im here posting for them. I had no input on their question and didnt know exactly how to look up any threads relating to the question so here it is ..... a headband cut which was heard to although be an extremely quality cut flower wise wasnt an actual headband cut was supposed to be thrown out of the veg room. 2 months later shes about eye level, untopped and zero training done what so ever. Past the height of everything flowerings a bit out of the question considering it would probably be to the roof after stretch.. Im sure this has been thought of many times but im here to ask again. Has anyone tried turning the plant sideways and repotting before flower.... not sure if im explaning clearly but the plant would go from about 2.5 feet wide and 5 feet tall to 2.5 feet tall and 5 feet length wise. original vertically growing stalk would now be horizontal. almost like an extreme version on lst. please ask questions if this wasnt explained clearly.

I've never heard of it being done.

But I don't see a problem with it, trees do it all the time.

I'd give her 2 or 3 weeks to fully recover before flowering though.

Do it, and keep us posted.

repot it in a larger pot and lay it down when you repot it, kinda like your talking about. I'd even consider throwing a cinder block or something in the room to tie the top of the plant to to keep it horizontal. It sounds like it would be perfect to throw a screen on top of and scrog..it's gonna be a monster!

could you water it ok? why not just top her where you want, give her a week or so to recoup n into flower.

Switching entire garden to vertical was considered but other plants are trained more of a scrogish style without screen what are your vert yields like and constant rotation of the plants or what happeneds to the buds Inge dark sides
