My 5 gallon containers - Black Pear and Black Prince

A few months ago I posted a question about BER in my 5 gallon bucket set-up. DAVE decided to straight up flame me on my mixture and bucket content and told me to try again next year.

Thanks Dave! I sought help elswhere off the next and decided to add Tomato Tone ( basically losing a tier or two to BER ). Happily my plants are 6-7 feet tall and yeilding approx 30-50 toms per plant. (some cracking due to early cold spells and rain).

While I admit that the 5 gallon buckets were too small (potbound)I corrected the nutrients levels and had to stay on top of watering. For next year I wouldn't do anything but a small bush variety in a 5 gallon, no large indeterminates. my opinion.

I"ll throw up a bunch of pics for anyone interested...Thanks and enjoy your winter.
