i picked these guys up from a green house in early april and grew them inside to the first week in may, then i moved them out side and built a 9' by 4' trellis with 6'' netting.
i am using the general hydroponic water farm buckets with the basic flora series nutrients
the others are planted in tall 5 gallon pots with happy frog soil, one is all ready fruiting
let me know what you think

Update: things seem to be doing fine. All of tomato's are flowering. Two of the tomato's in soil have fruit forming. The hydroponic tomato's have been feed a nutrient solution that is heavier on nitrogen than the other base nutrients. I have been thinking next week when i change the solution out i will add more potash and phosphorus. If anyone has any tips on feeding i would love the feedback.

Update: Grow has pretty much exploded Started to give the hydro tomato's more potash and phosphorus less nitrogen. Still no fruits forming on the hydro tomato's lots of flowers though.
