you're right, photo and gravi-tropism dont usually fight each other. but your system seems like it would pit them against each other.

I'm not saying it wont work, I hope it does and I look forward to watching your grow progress....but I have a feeling you'll be stressing the girls a bit too much.

That's because the light is always above it. I've never done it this way, so I'm not sure how it will react.

Foliar feeding would be done on the top , with the leaves pointing down the stomas are wide open for feeding and since they aren't being hit by any light.

what about having a light both underneath that, and a couple above them?
that way the entire plant gets light, not just the underside.

I'm doing my first vertical grow, and as long as they have enough light, they still grow straight up rather than towards the bulbs.

i think it will definitely work. in essence all he's doing is an inverted scrog. and like he said its more horizantal rather than completely upside down. i honeslty believe if you train these plants correctly,(extreme training, mind you) you can skew all the haters.
