haha I was thinking the same thing today :)
one of by buddies is trying it. ill let you know.
i could imagine it would be a real pain to care for them.
It's a waste of time. Yes, it will grow but since pot is gravitropic you're going to have a HARD time keeping it happy with the roots constantly above the leaves, it doesn't like that.
A guy on another site I frequent tried it - 6 months for one measly ounce.
ah well thats good to know it will grow but the yeilds will be small well its not worth the trouble then
i was thinking about trying this and i have the topsy turvy already.. anyone else with thoughts on this? i kinda figure the things would just grow towards the light rather than down.. tomatoes can hang with the weight but the leaves dont look as "directional" as pot leafs do so maybe it wont be good if the branches hang unless the leafs just curl towards the light.. hold on... ok googled for a pic of this :)
lol thats crazy but it might be good for lowriders but like khyberkitsune said you prob would not get a big yeild growing a bigger plantQuote:

not exactly.. leafs on a cannabis plant are meant to be grown in natural position (not inverted) if you look at a pot leaf you will see that the bottom of the leaf is different than the fop of the leaf the top is greener and contains more chlorophyll than the bottom.. tomatoes kinda grow like a vine and leafs are odd shaped and grow to face the light even when the plant is upside down when cannabis grows upward and erect.. ive come to the conclusion that it would be best to just rig a reflector to light the bottom of the cannopy if thats what you are goin for.. its cool lookin i guess.. i wont waste my time this year i think ill use the turvy for some real tomatoes or maybe safer with peppers as they dont get as heavy:)
