LolaGal

Topsy Turvy wound up in the clearance section at the local department store.

Only $4....

I can't resist. I am gonna do one inside.

What do ya'll want to see in the Topsy Turvy?

Nirvana's: White Rhino OR Cali Orange Bud
Grape Krush F2s.
AnnaC seeds: Apophis
Karma's: SSSDH/Jack #21

:)
 
Saw another one also, not sure if its the same, a semi failed aptempt......Hermied bad!

Gravitropism seemed like the problem for the fail. In flower MJ continued to grow up toward the light and fially toppled over.

If I remeber right the colas ended up falling over and stressing the plant into hermie. cant remembr if it was broken branches or jut stress. It was like a year and a half ago...

Good Luck, Im gunna watch this one.

why not mount the light on the floor facing up so the plant grows towards the light while hanging from the ceiling or wherever. when flowering and the buds get heavy, they are hanging towards the light so no need to stake them....worth a shot.

This... is going to be the shit. A good friend of mine has some tomatoes growing in one right now, and I've always looked at it and wondered... ;)

Good luck, I can't wait for this!

Keep it green,

We shall see! I left the party cup on the root wad tonite. I'll take it off tomorrow, hang it in bloom room, fill it up with soil and see what happens!

I can't go mucking around in the dark tonite, but figured what the heck, get an early start!

Thanks for stopping by, I been seeing this on tv for couple years, and figured it would be fun to try it out.

Topsy Turvy.

I bought one of those earlier this year and I've been testing it with tomatoes.
It still hasn't fruited. :wallbash: Would like to see if you do better with MJ. :pimp3:

I dunno. I have 4 400 watt lites in bloom. surely it will get enough lite.

The clone is only 8-10 inches tall, so going into bloom, probably won't get too big in bloom?

With the white walls, etc. and hanging it from the ceiling, the lights should hit it OK. I will hang it on a chain. I have lots of chain around I ain't using.

My big worry is the soil will be at the level of the lights, so it might get too hot on the roots?

does it leak out the bottom where the plant goes in when it is watered? if yes, I guess that eliminates the lamp on the floor facing up idea I had.

To much time on your hands LolaGal?

IF this poor poor baby lives, won't it just curl around the upside down pot? Growing for the light? It won't grow away from the light. :2cents: :yoinks: :eek: :joint:

See lights and top of plant are at the same height, so plant gets tons of light, is just upside down.

I think it may be fun, but so what if it don't work, We've all wondered when we saw that commercial...could it be done?

I just wanna have fun! :)
