sorry i was kinda :stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned: when i wrote this. its more 2 ideas i had that work together. the connection would be the space factor. when u have a bunch of plants hanging from a ceiling you now have useable space free on the floor (aside from the lights). where as if you had plants on the floor, all the space in the room would be above them(aside from the lights) and unless you contsruct some kind of rafters or something this space is usually wasted and never used.

the second idea is having the light room and dark room as constants, and physically moving the plants from one to the other, which i never conceived as a practical idea before, unless there was some conveinent way of moving them which at the time all i could come up with is putting actual wheels on the units and carting them from one room to the next, but that didnt appeal to me as im dealing with carpet and various obstructions along the floor on the way from room to room. however suspended units changes that whole story and i thought it added alot to conveinence since space is a pretty variable issue in most places.

i should add that the ceilings in my house are like this /¯\ rather than ¯¯¯. so i find myself laying in bed at night staring at the ceiling saying to myself "i could have another plant there.....and there.... and there...." lol

you could also use the plants position for light efficiancy as well like in an arena garden...only with the plants on top and bottem rather than sides and the light(s) in the middle, my closet comes to mind i could easily hang 3 or 4 more from the top and with some minor modifications to my lighting.

as for the runoff problem, thank you! this is what i was after, didnt think of that. although somewhat of a problem its easily enough solved by putting something at the base to soak it up before it gets down the plant. the unit already has a foam piece built in that does that but an added towel or something wouldnt hurt.

any other ideas or drawbacks????:smokin:

thanks for the replys btw.

but all of this is irrelevent if it wont grow upside down. i think im just going to try it.:rastasmoke:
