Default cutting clones for 2 tap roots
as the title says, has anyone every tried it, or thought about it ?
would there be a better clone success rate, or faster take up rate, or just plain old faster growing plants ?
at a glance it would seem that 2 tap roots are better than one

for those wondering how, its where you cut the clone.
instead of cutting the clone off the branch, cut both sides of the branch to form a T.
the picture illistrates this better than i can explain.
fig A is normal cut, fig B is 2 tap root cutting

if 2 tap roots were going to aid a plant in any way then nature would be doing it already, since plants have a single tap root then it must be the best way.

i wonder if this is so.
i know with air layering that roots grow out of the side of stalks.
and i have read that if you clone a plant upside down then it will root from the top.

ps if mother nature had it right then why are you all using hydro, nutes, RO water, and HID lights ??

mother nature has 3 taproots. 1 being the cola the other 2 one on both sides =3

when you take a clone it only has one cola then one taprot on one side then it altnernates.
yo dave the newbie, yes it will work!

i sometimes top my plants and root both tops and have 4 plants and 2 already topped

i layered a branch outside into soil 3 weeks ago, with about 5 sub branches growing up out of the soil.
i cut the connecting branch between each sub branch yesterday.
they all seem to be 100% healthy with no wilting at all - and im the death of clones.
with other cloning methods ive tried if i can get 1/12 clones to root im happy.
i think i may have found a way of cloning a very hard to clone strain
