In the Growing Hot Peppers thread, there are lots of recommendations about keeping lights close to plants. I don't disagree with the recommendations. But, sometimes there seems to be forces at work.
Just for fun, I am trying to grow a tomato in a container but from the bottom. Tried it the same day I transplanted another plant to a 4-gallon container. The latter is doing great. The one in the upside down pot went through transplant shock, but has been growing. But it isn't growing toward a CFL light directly under it. It's trying to grow upward, which means going east and west instead of north and south.
This is going to be an interesting experiment, but I wish I had a camera to film it!
