Sure they are I seen them pour the water in the top. Oh and make sure to put the light on the floor poiting up.

It HAS been done everyone. Here are some pictures from another grow log.

I knew some one would do it but this is hydro section. Also looks like yields kind of suffer. It could be a stealth grow. Who's looking of buds hanging up in trees.

so what do you do about the excess that falls through the bottom after being watered through the top. Would you not think that it would be a fire hazard with lights pointing up from the ground to light it? It may have a sponge inside to hold the stem and suck up SOME moisture, but that thing definitely leaks. It's like a tarp bag with a sponge and piece of plastic at the bottoms and tops. Not sure how you can make something like that hydro and if you did what would be the point? You could probably do the same thing with a five gallon bucket, so long as you have the lid.

tomato growing friend tried it, says it's bogus :wtf: ... I dunno, but he said the plant is frustrated, constantly trying to lift it's branches to the sun ... pretty simple logic, to me, the sun IS above our heads, last time I looked :D ... the only supposed advantage, was keeping the tomatoes off the ground ... I see zero advantage for a pot plant :smokin:

sorry the light on the floor was just a joke because this is hydro section. LOL. I know it would still leak even regular. But if you did put the light on the floor would it grow down or up ?

Probably down towards the light source. Maybe if you have a grow cab just big enough to put a bunch of CFL's around the sides of the walls. Then as it grows down you can LST it to grow the way you like :D
