>>111001>And does this not get affected by geotropism?I myself am not a big fan of those upside down tomato planters. In my humble opinion they are one of those pinterest gardening fads meant to look fancy, largely ignoring practicality. I gave it my best two years in a row as a test despite knowing better. I got some nice fruit from it I must admit, but the crop was meager compared to that grown in exactly the same soil the same year the traditional way.
Geotropism wasn't a problem though. Tomatoes are opportunistic vining plants by nature; they'll easily rotate their leaves to still catch the sunlight on the right side. The growing tip does tend to bend upwards of course, but the stem is flexible enough to be straightened out by the weight eventually.
Pic semi-related; this year's tomatoes just got planted outside, after being pregrown under lights indoor.
