    i start all my plants in a small tray just like this photo am gonna post it ive only got 1 in there but i could easerly fit 6 seedlings in there works fine but after about 2-3 weeks you have to put them in a pot you cant leave them in there no longer than that i would advise germination before planting

    heres the photo

  3. You're almost right, but plant in the middle, top the plant and train towards the ends and sides with the shoots.

    It will sorta work, but 8L won't let you veg for long.

    Wet
     
  4. Oh, ok.

    Sounds like a plan, I'd give it a shot and see how it goes.

    Wet
     
  5. Roots prefer to grow out not down. For most plants anyhow. Just think about it. It is more efficient to have roots toward the top or the soil. Not Too deep. Towards the top is where most of the water is. Look at a 150 ft. Tree. The roots don't go 150 ft. down. There is no water down there. So yes it should work fine.
     
  6. i thought there was tons of water the deeper into the earth you go.... well where i live anyway.
     
  7. Yes you are right on that. But ground water can be hundreds of feet below the surface. Of course all depending on where you live. Most plant don't rely on ground water for feeding. They rely on the rain. Again depending on where you live.

    Yeah redwood trees grow hundreds of feet but the roots only go down about 6 feet deep but grow horizontal in upwards of 100feet from the trunk
