I started a grow. Its 2 weeks old now and is healthy with a few sets of leaves. I wanted to try an experiment to see if its possible to grow upside down, similar to how tomatos can be grow. Any resposes are appreciated.

I have a top which has a hole for the plant to fit through and also watering wont have to b givin as often due to the fact the roots will be at the top of the pot opposed to the bottom, so just make sure no over watering. Frequent light waterings should b good. I mainly light from the sides in a triangular mannor with all lights aimin towards the middle of the tress. I usually cover at least 90% of the plant :) ive been working on many experiments. I f am also currently flowering a two stemed hermie, 1 stem male. I keep choppin him and the other stem female with many hairs. 100% nut solution. They growing roots on the stem sincce they were chopped down last week

To be 100% honest with you I am not sure. I havent met anybody who has done or tried this method. Now I can say this tho, for 5yrs now I grew tomatos and peppers this way and when harvest time comes the crop is bigger/denser juicier, high quantities, and its looks great. Makes u proud

Tomatos and peppers make sense because they produce fruit. The cannabis plant doesn't produce pluckable fruit so how would that benefit us, or them, from growing upside down?

I've grown tomatoes that way and wont again.. seems like a good idea to grow them upside down.. until you start getting weight on the branche... at which point the logic of an upside down grow becomes real clear real quick.

I know others that have tried it with grass, none have said they would do it again.

But if one has the time, space and inclination, it might be fun to try for giggles.

Yea I think it may work out since now u have gravity on ur side. Instead of the nutr travelin up the tree to the top, gravity will help pull them to the plant. Less work for the plant in a sense.

Peppers and tomatoes can both use hanging basket setups w/rubber seals.. you put the plants in, put soil in the middle.. and it's a gravity setup - last time I was in the dollar store, saw the setup for 5 bucks and it held 12 plants.
