what do u guys think about using a topsy turvey to grow your cannabis? they sell it on t.v. to grow tomatoes... but what if you put a light under it and grew your bud upside down? Please respond with opinions
topsy turvy, as seen on t.v.

I could see how it would work. If your top cola's are facing down, gravity will help pull the resin down and out of the pores, where it normally has to fight gravity to protrude. I would be willing to bet they would practically drip with resin, it would seem to make nutrient transportation a mush more efficient process, which if I'm not mistaken, is the secret to how and why the tomatoes get so big so quick.

i thought about it alot actually im glad you posted this thread.my thought would be gravity would pull the oils and resin down but the issue with herb is that it grows toward the sun naturaully. tomatoes are dense therefore have an natural anchor, this being thenselves.the plants with go up rather then down. just like when you grow vertical the plant grow toward the light.you would have to prune the inside so that they would not get to dense by the base of the stems.
These are the only downfalls that i found. But i do feel growing them in gurrilla gardens would be the most effective way with these.imagine trees with them hanging around like fruit.

I see where your coming from, but what about say 4' indoor plants hanging 7' off the ground with hps near the floor. I assume you would have to control the heat from the lamps somehow. But, I just wonder what effect this would have on yield, resin production, etc
if it was indoor it would be a different situation as a whole.wherever the light source is then thats where the plants would go.as far as yeild resin and so forth cant say much.only an experiment could answer that.

HMMM... Sounds like a task. How much are those things? I may put a clone in one of those and one in normal soil conditions just to see.
good question..if you do you should start a journal you'll get a shyte load of viewers thats one of those experiments that every1 would check out at sometime.

They're only $10 at Home Depot! I may have to try a little experiment, I just ordered my first HPS may need another really soon. I am cutting some clones tommorow so I will decide whether or not to try this out in the next couple of days... (Granted enough clones survive to have room for experimentation)
best of luck..i'mm posted already..

maybe I will try it. I'm going to take the reflector off my light so that I can hang a topsy turvy above it and compare buds at harvest and document the difference in bloom time/potency/yeild/etc
