nothing like winter tomatoes that actually taste like a tomato.
I believe gentle fans at pollination time work better than the electric toothbrush method of still shaking it here boss.

I was eating indoor tomatoes in february.
Yummy
The plant would have new blossoms every 2 months

Ya definitely can’t wait!! Started Sophie’s choice silvery fir tree and tigerella.!! Just an exsperment see if I can grow a full size plant with these lights indoors..

[slugworth]

don't forget the clones
I ate a clone tomato for supper.
There was a green tomato on the cutting when I did the snip snip here.
7.5oz so it was no slouch.

With all the droughts and heatwaves,that may be the way of the future- indoors approach.

[AKgardener]

Most definitely agree don’t hurt to try the big ones inside !!

Make sure no one shoots at you when your string breaks, cool hand Luke !!

we had to watch that movie in high school; theatrical release which was different than the version you have seen.
Dog dragging the leash didn't run himself to death like anthony zerbe said.

Looks nice. Just fyi, led light dissipates rapidly, and you may want to put adjustable hangars on the light to move it up and down. The manufacturer probably has a ppfd chart, which will show you the intensity and coverage of the light at different distances from the fixture.

[slugworth]

sometimes it's easier to move the plants than the lights,if you really have to.
I never do.

Ya I still have to adjust the other rack for the plants I plan on moving them as they grow !!

Tigerella was a huge bushy plant for me outside. I laid it down when we had our first snow. It was thick enough that the lower half on the ground continued to make tomatoes until the plant was wiped out by a our third snow which was followed by below freezing temps for days. Just wanted you to be prepared for that.

Thank you !! Good to know about how big the plant gets did you like the flavor? And would you grow them again

[wykvlvr]

it was not tall compared to some folks plants but it was very thick and bushy. I got loads of tomatoes from it and yes I enjoyed the flavor but I like the spicey or tangy tomatoes. DH and Marge both preferred Large Barred Boar which I felt was bland.
OH YES I will grow it again, already on my list for next year.

[AKgardener]

Oh Awsome that’s good to know!! Now I’m definitely excited to try it my husband prefers more acidic tomatoes vs sweet I like a balance of both so many to try haha I’m redoing my entire room as my grow room so much fun!!
