they hold 6 gallons of soil. when i put them in there they were 6 inches tall. they were sitting in the bottom in all the water. the pots still feel really heavy. it's been maybe 2 weeks. :-?
damn, thats a long time to not have to water, don't you usually water your outdoor plants every day

when it's hot out, yes. feed, water, feed, water,...... when i water with straight water i saturate the soil.

Wait, so you're saying a plant coming from the top of the topsy turvy too? That's...pretty crazy, lol, must look awesome. I just imagine all those roots in there....

bit it would probably allow his soil to dry out twice as fast....

Im excited to see what happens with this. Ive never done it and Im not sure of the science behind it that would really make this beneficial. Fruits and branches wouldent pop as easy since gravity will be holding the plant and buds down like they should be growing up, But is it really worth the hassel for that? Ive heard claims that plants are supposed to veg better in these things/systems that hold them upside down and I just cant see how that would be true...Or why, i should say.

although I know when you lay a 4ft plant down flat a couple weeks into flowering when outdoors they turn all their little side buds into cola like structures reaching up for the sun:mrgreen:

i'm pretty sure it's all just a novelty. otherwise you'd see a lot more of it. lots of fun though. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

hey in the end thats what matters right. the y are gonna grow no matter what system you use if you do it right, so may as well have fun with it while doing it. besides that it may give you less problems with branches breaking like you mentioned earlier.
