Growing Tomatoes in winter.

Hi all just got through a average winter and the tomatoes did fantastic.

I decided to grow Tiny Tim variety because it is small and bushy. It did not go that way for me however i gave it a quarter of a square meter and it soon tried to dominate the whole 1 meter. So i tried to tie it to a stake and train it. Well that was a joke it had a mind of its own as you will see in the pictures.

First signs of fruit an amazing feat seeing its freezing outside.

Well It’s been a few weeks and I have taken photos all the way. The amount of flowering sites is amazing I am using only RHP coco, good quality Canna nutrient plus some Canna PK 13-14 and Boost. With Reverse Osmosis water and dual spectrum lighting. Truly a winning combination to try and should taste great.

Well that’s it I hope you enjoyed the photo’s as much as I did growing the tomatoes and documenting the progress. Oh yeah good eating too if you need a healthy snack. I find myself raiding the plant once afternoon comes around to satisfy my hunger and sweet taste.

Happy Gardening

Hi I was using a Ablite 400 watt Metal Halide with a ablite 600 watt HPS Icebox. It is call dual spectrum lighting and gives awesome results.
However I am now test driving the Lumatek Digital ballast with Digital bulbs something that will nock your socks off.

Got something to say?
