I'm currently growing these Sweetie Cherry Tomatoes hydroponically. I am worried that they are getting leggy and just wanted to get some feedback. Please see the attached picture.

I am also slightly concerned by some slight leaf curl as well :s

Don't look bad, but they are getting leggy.. Put a fan directly on them, harden them so they can tolerate a fan full blast... Needs brighter light, as close as possible to the plants... What are you feeding them? What kind of hydro are you doing? All an all, don't looks to bad, but I would get a fan on them and a brighter light, nearly touching the plants without harming them..

Currently using a vegetative growth solution from a hydro store. The current light is pretty cheap incandescent. I'm planning to put cfl lighting above the plants. This is a nighttime picture and in the day the plants get a strong amount of light although they do lean and this requires me to rotate the plants frequently.
