To fellow gardeners:

I would like to know when to switch from the blooming T5 lights to the fruiting T5 lights(red lights I'm presuming) for my tomato plants. Should that determination be made on:

�height (currently the plants are ~1ft high)
�age (currently the plants are ~ 2 months)
�when the plant starts to flower (currently one of the plants are flowering)
�weight

Below are my details.

The red rocket determinate tomatoes are grown in a flood and drain hydroponics arrangement with clay pebbles.

Your help in this matter is appreciated.

You'll get far more helpful info over on the Growing Under Lights forum here since very few tomato growers practice this form of growing. Perhaps even the Hydroponics forum could be of more help.
