I've done this successfully with creepers, like mint, but rather then root the growing tip I rooted midway on the main stem. Basically has the same effect as LST or super-cropping, creates bushier growth.

I imagine it would root eventually. I agree with Syriuslydelyrius, you'll have to trim leaves n such so they don't rot.

Considering the time it would take for the plant to recover before throwing out new growth, I think you'd be better off doing some LST, or super cropping. I imagine you'd get the same result.

what you are doing is called layering. Check out "air layering" google it. There is a good use I can think of....technically you still can call it one plant until you separate them. this could be very helpful depending on the laws where you live if you get busted.

Hmm it is kinda like air layering, but you will still be trying to make the plant grow upside down.

wheres the pics?

with layering it would be rooted a small distance from the tip. Once the roots take, you slice it so you have the big plant with no roots on top, and a little plant that was formerly the top of the plant. Simple layering is usually done with side branches and not the terminal bud, but it would still work.

couldnt this benefit a plant and make it bigger and help it spread out over a larger space and stay low to the ground,short fat and bushier? IF IT WORKS good?i think it would yeild more if done right?

I saw a few plants that were toppled by rabbits in moist ground, and they grew adventitious roots in an arch fashion and grew out their secondaries.. The owner figures it worked out pretty well..

+rep for the proper terminology. Would say your friend is rather lucky there. If an animal got to a plant of mine it most often died. Still dont see the point of this other than to "air layer" a set of clones so there ready when the other room blooms as a way to keep your # of plants down to your legal limit.

If you were to root the top then super crop the plant low and fold it over then plant the rooted top and try to turn it into a long vine with bud sites everywhere I feel is just wishfull thinking and at the very least extreemly time consuming and inefficient. There are better more efficient methods to help increase your yield.

I should clarify that it wasn't the tops that rooted exactly, just secondaries on the bottom side..
