Thread: Growing wee upside down

I saw this add late one night about growing tomatoes upside down. The add said it was a great way to grow because it uses gravity to more effiently deliever nuts to the plant. I go the thinking and wonderd if that would be the same for a marijuana plant.

Anyone have any thoughts? I mean, how could you even build something like that.

I was talking to my friend a couple hours ago and he said he is going to try the same thing.. iuno how it'll work tho, if it does the buds will be extremely potent due to all the THC going straight to the buds.

Then why are plants dried upside down....

With the tomatoes it send all the water and nutes in the tomatoes I'm sure the same would work for marijuana the only thing is your gonna have to set your lights on the ground so your weed can grow towards them.

Pot plants would turn up and grow up so unless you tied them down all the time they would not grow down. They are not soft flexible pliable plants like tomato plants are.

Have you ever seen a tree in the woods that blew down pulling enough of the root mass with it to remain alive? If so did it grow along the ground or did it send new growth up? It sent new growth up.
Any firm/hard plant or tree will do the same thing if it is not standing up on its own.

You can’t overcome genetic coding.
