Tomato Plant!

Characteristically tomato plants are erect, branched, aromatic and covered with glandular hairs. The base may become woody. Yellow flowers are borne in terminal inflorescences appearing extra-axillary or lateral. After flowering, tomatoes require 50-60 days to reach fruit maturity. The fruit is botanically classed as a berry. Although the full size of the fleshy fruit, called a berry, is attained in half that time, the later stage of maturity is marked by external color change with coinciding internal chemical changes.

Thanx for the knowledge! I should have a mature best boy by Thanksgiving. The other plant outside will probably just die now.

Hi All.......I checked on the tomatoe this morning & discovered an issue that I probably can't do anything about. The fruit in the picture(I know it's not the best) has developed a hair line crack I guess running from the base to the top stem. Will this fruit still grow & be edible? I hope they all don't do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All...I have a mature best boy, but the rest of the plant dosen't look well. I moved the plant inside about a month ago & since then it's been all down hill, but at least I managed to get one out of it. How does it look to everyone?

Now thats a sexy tomato!

Too bad you didnt get more... Im craving for some tomatoes now =P

Thanx Jou! I think now that I'm getting a 400W HPS I will attempt to do another in my grow room.

for the life of me i cant get my tomato plant to flower. how long does it take from veg state?

So far from what I've learned they seem to flower at a certain height & I don't think they are specifically triggered by light cycles. The two plants in this thread both first started developing flowers when they were about 18 inches. You could try to give your plant some form of bloom booster. Fish emulsion works well if your into organics.

I grow mine from a hole in the bottom of a hanging bucket... I put a seedling tray on top and any water runnof from that goes into the bucket... because of gravity the water is available to your tomato plant even when you forget to water... I also turn my bucket in the day to follow the sun...

It has grown at lest 3 times as big as the other seeds planted around the house on the same day. (they were all grown in little seed growing containers...). I attribute it to the water being drawn to the bottom of the soil (where the roots are) and the good sun exposure with a little break over the midday when the sun is right above.

Would be easy to cary inside too...

i got 3 egg plants going in my attic room there doing well. they are sensitive plants and help to make my thumb a dark green.....its a good practice

That is a interesting concept ANC...I may have to try that next year. I hope everything goes well monkey1969.
