Some Q's !!! :::: Shortest Autoflowers? Growing inverted?

Question 1 :

What are the smallest autoflower strains? I have a hanging basket idea and would like something < 3ft????

I assume > 90% indica is the way to go? No experience with low ryders - perhaps useful?


Question 2 :

Has anyone tried growing inverted with the light source on the ground? I would make customised pots to accommodate the job - to ensure feed does not hit the "top of the plant" ;-)

Stupid or not? I see so many upsides!!! Gravity could be the issue :-(

Guess I will have to try it out then !!!

I will flip the prop tent and see how I go!

Solves some issues like access and heat, but certainly adds complications !

If you don’t try and all that! Sure it has been attempted ... but I did not find much !

How will you work that idea? Train the plant under the hanging basket so it can get to the light underneath ? Am I thinking that right ? I’d be intrigued to see how it would go.

I will plant the seed upside down pointing to the "light". Think I will drop a Sour Crack into water and have a go. I know what's what with that strain and super speedy.

I have so much unused space in my vegetable cupboard which made me think of inverting a grow room for the top!

It works well with chillis, tomato and strawberries! Could all be a waste of time, but I like to play around and see what happens! If it is rubbish, I will try and use the poor victim for pollen!

Go for it pal. Get plenty of pics on
Interesting.

In this picture it want grow straight down like hanging fruit, because it searchers for the light. If you have A strong enough light at the bottom, it might.

I think gravity is more of a variable than light if you're meaning to grow inverted.

Yeah this was what I was thinking with a 150W QB at the bottom of the prop tent. Will put it on something heat proof and with air flow!!!

I envisage a nice ball of canna buds :-) Perhaps I am just a fool! Would look very cool if I can pull it off :-)

It is fun trying new stuff! Keeps me motivated :-)

Edit : I have a spare panel so could run a dimmed down top panel and a full power bottom one. Hmmmm.......

Shortest auto? Funny you should mention that... watch out for my up & coming diary with Joint Doctors Betty Boo

Short with curves in all the right places???

That is an old skool seed looking at its genetics! Will follow with interest :-)

Have you grown out low ryder auto strains before? They look ideal to plant under a rose bush :-)
