It will be fun to see how big an indeterminate tomato grows. I guess it will largely depend on container size.

Moved this into my Bounty and added 8ml of nutes, 2ml of CALiMAGic, and a healthy splash of hydrogen peroxide.  |

What is your plan for this as far as a container? My inside plant (indeterminate) is in a bus tub that holds about 3 gallons of water with a decent air space and it is really hard to keep it fed and ph level correct and I am trying to prune it to keep it within the space I have. The one in the double bucket (outside) is much more stable so far with 7 gallons of water. That is being pruned from bottom up as it grows as are the inground plants.
With the tub inside, I am feeding 2 days after a change.. which is weekly and it drinks about 2 qts of water every 12 hours.
The hard part about feeding is I am using a multiple part dry system so have to mix a couple gallons of nute to water with..
Good luck with it!

I am hoping to keep it within the Bounty and keep it pruned back to stay within the light without touching the light itself. If it shows signs of outgrowing the container despite my efforts, then my backup plan is to trim back most of it (along with the roots) and try to keep it half the size it was before. I've had fairly good success with plants that outgrow a container, but I've found that adding an air pump + air stone helps a lot, so that might be another option. Here is a mustard plant that I grew in a Harvest 360, when it just slightly outgrew the AeroGarden   |

I see, so basically Bonsai the top and roots .. will be interested to see how a plant that has not been altered to stay small takes to containment. To me it is like herding cats without a vacuum cleaner.. |

I am very curious as to how many tomatoes you will have on a plant kept so small. If you are interested in the nutrient system I am using, I can hook you up! All 3 products were in 5lb bags, enough for a 1000 gallons of solution, so PM me if you would like a lb of each. The AG and Dyna-bloom were really not what my plant needed.. It was purple as can be until I switched. I have the tomato formula, Calcium Nitrate, Magnesium sulfate and Potassium Nitrate. Product and mixing instructions are Here |

Somehow I messed this message. I'm very thankful for the offer, but at the moment I have been happy with the AG nutrients. Both my Rosy Finch and Orange Hat tomatoes seemed to do well with AG nutes + CALiMAGic. I tried the MasterBlend and a couple other multi-part nutrient formulas, and while I did see a difference, I'm always too lazy to deal with the ordering, weighing, and multiple mixing stages - especially when I can just put a couple ML of AG nutes and call it a day |

Same here! I have Masterblend, but it is such a pain to mix when the alternative is simply squirt and use.

On the bright side I made an electric mixing lid for a 5 gallon bucket so I exercise while each part is mixing.. that is exercise I would not be doing if I were not in the basement waiting for the mixer to do it's thing!  |

That is a unique looking tomato plant! Pretty, too.

I figured out that my earlier issue was that (for some reason) there was a space at the beginning of the image link. |

ERR0R1755, for some reason they are not being displayed here. I will send a report ticket in to see why. In the meantime, can you post the link itself and we can click on it.
