| Sorry for crappy cell phone pictures. These are my four red robins, starting to ripen. Grown in my basement 100% artificial lights (Currently under HO T5s with one 100w CFL in a clamp on brooder giving side lighting. I just have them in solo cups. Didn't get shots of the minibels, but all of them are healthy and have had tons of fruit set. I'm thinking of trying a small determinant tom, like a megabite or bushsteak and see how they do.

| Good work........looks like they are setting fruit very well. Last winter I grew on three different occasions three different strains and had real trouble getting them to set fruit. Big luscious plants but very few tomatoes. |

| Your tomatoes look wonderful. You should be proud! I'm just getting set up to grow greens and tomatoes under CFL lights. I'm hoping you can answer two burning questions I have. My fantasy is that I can grow successions of tomatoes so that I have a more or less continual supply of tomatoes year round. I'd be more than happy with just a few ripe toms a week. Is that reasonable and how often would I need to start new plants to replace the dying determinates? How is the flavor of toms grown indoors? Is there a way to assure good flavor over blandness? Thanks for your post and keep posting photos for gawkers like me. |
