Seeds: Venus micro-dwarf yellow tomatoes from Heritage Seed Machine: Harvest Nutes: AG nutes and Calimagic My wife is the tomato lover in the house. She enjoyed these tomatoes when I grew them the first time so I decided to replant them, this time in a Harvest. I have a small supply of seeds so I planted just one. It took a while for it to germinate but here we are after 31 days:  |

39 days in and we’re getting some growth. I’m curious to see how this variety will do in a harvest by itself compared to sharing a bounty with a somewhat larger plant. I also wonder if the reduced wattage of the lights will be a factor in how this plant will do.   |

I have 2 micro dwarfs in a Harvest Slim. They are slow, but they are growing steadily. I planted them and this is day 39 today and I am just seeing the beginning of a few buds.
I think I spy a few buds trying to develop on yours, yes?

Have no fear. That plant will do very well. I grew red cherry toms and yellow cherry toms in two Sprouts! They did very well once I stopped adding Calimagic to the water. I found that AG's nutes were far better for the plants. The reduced lighting was just fine too, BTW... FWIW

FWIW I agree...the calcium-mag damaged my tom projects, but works wonderful on the pepper projects. |

Yes, some buds are forming. I was thinking about pruning them just to see what will happen. |

I’ve used it on tomatoes in the past but haven’t added any to this grow. Maybe I’ll just see how the plant does without it. |

74 days planted and while we’re at the stage when the leaves start looking sad, we have plenty of fruit!   |

She preferred these to the larger Aztek tomatoes. She just likes them and that’s about all I can get out of her for a review! 😂 |

Tomatoes are starting to ripen and I gave the plant a nice trim to help the inner leaves grow. Next time I grow micro-dwarfs I will experiment with keeping the lights at a higher level in order to see if they will get a bit taller.   |
