how similar is marijuana and tomatos?

i was wondering how similar tomatos and marijuana are in their needs. Do they require similar growing envirnments? basically what i am getting at is could one use tomato plants to test your grow environment? Am thinking of changing from soil to aeroponics and i want to practise with a less valuable plant first.

thanks

Be no harm to practise anyway's i think,i used my growing nutes(soil) on my dad's tomato
plants when he was away on holiday,and i killed them lol.all the leaves fell off and shit,so
dunno if tomatoes would be the best way to check the nute's you are going to use !!!

I remember reading that tomatoes are very similar to mj. If you think about it they are both rapidly growing, flowering/fruiting annuals.

You should practice with the plant your going to grow. You can practice with fewer plants than what you want, but I would start getting experience with weed. Why waste three months for a BLT? You could get lucky with your first grow and be smoking some decent weed.

I always use to grow with my tomatoes... Use grow on the entire garden to begin with, then switch to flower in july or so...

I was thinking similar why not just get some bag seed and go to town torturing the plant. This way you can see what works for you and by the time you grow a good strain you will have a nack for it.

if you got seeds that you orded..
you should more then likely had gotten some free seeds..
just take one of your free seeds or just get some seeds out of a bag that you had bought for smoke.
and practice on thoses.....
im gettin ready to start practein with hydro also
and im gonna use the free seeds i got first
before i use the seeds i actuly bought.

kalo i see you found your award.......

grow both, nothing better than having a BLT when you got the munchies from your own smoke. but yes, they need the same things. light, food, and water

yep, i have grown tomatoes many years, in greenhouse and without it, and i say the they are pretty much basicly the same-only MJ gets U high hehehe lol.Mj does well with nutes ment 4 tomatoes

thanks for all the great input everyone, i have a marijuana garden now, all the girls grow in soil. But ya maybe i will test aeroponics with some clones or tomatos as i have a plenty of marijuana. I was looking to start this prolly as the growing season ends here in the northeast and we all have to move inside
