It's like watching a miracle in slow motion.

They weren't on the Ultra. I think my Ultras are going into storage. They are 7 years old.

mike , I broke the light on a Bounty Basic. But I have four of AG's 45 watt LED panels. So I suspended one above the Bounty with a chain. Now it is working as good as new. I just have to have a separate timer for the light.
Root Farm's LED panel is the same as AG's except for the color. I have two of them, too.
Watch the sales on both brands. Sometimes they go as low as $89. That would be a way you could keep using your Ultras.

Oh, I've hung an Apollo UFO over two of them before. I just think I'm going to totes more from now on.
I just ate the ripe tomato. It was delicious. Yum.

I have an extra rain tower still in the box, and have decided I prefer totes to them, too.
Glad the tomato was yummy!

Did you ever eat the one tomato that looked ripe? I was wondering if it had good flavor. I am still in search of a good AG tomato variety that tastes good. In my next experiment, I am going to be doing a lot of water testing and experiment with the nuts more to get a good flavor.

Burpees Red Veranda are a bit larger, ganglier plant but they have a strong tomato taste. You know you have eaten a tomato when you eat them.

Thanks! Can you grow it in a Harvest, or should I use my Bounty?

I tried to grow 2 in a Bounty and it was too much. I'd say try one in a Bounty and be prepared to keep it trimmed. They like to roam out of the light.
I also grew two in Kratky and they did well too. Except they kept trying to grow into everything else, so they got severely trimmed, too.

This was a good project, but it is time. The Bounty is being taken out of service for the moment to make room for a second tote.

It had a great run mike. What can we expect to see and hear about in your tote project? |

First off, I may not terminate after all. I went to cut out the plants and they are so full of unripe tomatoes I'm not sure I can take them down. But I do need to find a new location for the garden.
I'm also going to take down the first tote. I will run both totes side-by-side using the same GH pump to provide air to 2 airstones in each tote. I will only utilize half of the 20 holes per tote. I will grow 10 Joi Choi pods in one tote. I will grow 10 Jericho Lettuce pods in the other. (If I can locate the seeds. I think I know which box they are in storage).
