Upsidedown Grow?

Hello Folks!

Anyone ever did a Upsidedown Grow? Any experience with that? I've grown tomatoes for years upsidedown.

Thanks!

I've never had any first hand experience doing this but I do remember seeing something years ago about somebody trying one of those topsy turvy upside tomato growers. From what I remember the plant was stubborn and was always fighting to right itself and grow upwards. Don't know if that helped or not but good luck!

yes and its waste of time.. I bought the topsy turvy mega kit way back..... including stand......junk and the branches all fell together due to gravity in the end making a big mess and lots of watering...not worth the trouble... and you don't get as much sunlight without supports and training.. when the sun is directly overhead you container blocks the light a bit,when a regular plant would be getting blasted with light IMHO

you end up with branches all together and have to separate and support em anyhow...big waste of time in most situations

I tried that with no luck. Even tomatoes....but I live in an area, breeze/wind and low humidity.

There are so many better methods to grow. As most mentioned...a waste of time/energy and a good plant.

Some plants were just not made to defy feeding gravity, mj being one of them!! :tiphat:
 
Waste of time. If it was more efficient to grow upside down in nature, they would. No need to reinvent the wheel here..pot goes on the bottom, plant on top.
