Indoor Tomatos.

600 W metal halid system for 12 different sites so 24 plants under that much light. I was under the impression that it was hard for tomatoes to get too mcuh light as long as the heat is controlled well. flowering is solely controlled by light correct or will it flower under any light time?

They will flower under any light schedule as long as you provide atleast 12 hours of light a day or more.

I was being sarcastic about the monsanto. Well sort of. They do make a drought resitant corn that does not need water. And all they do ask is if you use are special seeds please pay us, we did develop them. That is fair. The farmers out of business are out of business because other farmers are using monsanto and their crops out compete and just plain beat out the non monsanto crops. I watched a documentary half asleep but it seems unfair to monsanto that people lable them so bad. I think miracle grow is worse. To put chemical to the outdoors like they do. I could let them pass indoor. Altho that shit has to go somewhere too. At least they got some dweebs with no outdoor sense growing at all. "Drinks all around". Lol. Maybe monsato could bhe easier on people and allow farmers to grow seed crops from their seed, which they dont. But the did put a lot of farmers in business by letting some farmers grow seeds for monsanto. Farmers that other wise would be out of business. The company does deserve to make its money. Ethics and capitalism are a subjuect for the profoundly mature I feel in my later years.

As for tomatoes I found something great today. It is a 6 dollar green metal cage that is about four feet high and rectangluar. Looks good, and will easily give two to three tomatoes a fighting chance. For my first tomatoe round I found that touching the ground and over pruning to get lollipopped tomatoes like pot was my prob. They were delicious and organic with super soil and a fully formed and tended soil food web. That was some fun I learned by doing my meds the organic way for a while. Man I learned a lot. Back to GH hydro for those now. I got some extra ebb systems i might setup as vegatble. See what happens Gl all.

is the taste affected of tomatoes if they are flowering under 18/6 lighting or 12/12 due to increased hours of sugar breakdown or not really a factor? Also, do clones reset there flowering schedule when they form roots of their own?
