I have a Sweet 100 Cherry tomato plant I grew from seed and had it under my 5400k T5 Lights and It exploded in growth then to my amazement started flowering and now I have small tomatoes growing under my 5400K spectrum T5's.

I didn't think I was going to get any tomatoes but it started flowering the flowers fell off and now I see tiny little balls where the flowers were.



Even my hydroponic tomatoes started flower under that same light!


The hydro tomatoes will probably taste like ass though

Thanks Yea the Hydroponic tomatoes are super bushy and they are getting really big. The stalk is like almost half inch thick maybe thicker and some of the branches are well over a foot long. I have to raise my light every other day. They just keep growin.

Those pics are after I took cuttings to clone too. So they were even bushier

Hydro tomatoes are actually pretty damn delicious. Super juicy, and just as flavorful IMO.

I find any food grown in hydro taste better hands down that and hydro uses less water for watering the plants then soil.

There have been studies shown that fruits grown organically have more flavor. Look it up u might be surprised.

I swear tomatoes grow like a fucking weed! I used to deliver produce, and every summer little tiny tomato plants would start growing from fallen bad toms near the loading dock, where the seed made there way between cracks in the pavement. Tomato plant growing out of a fucking crack in the pavement! Crazy shit!

a q-tip or small brush touched to each flower may help with the pollination process to give you more tomatoes when growing inside.

i usually have mine planted outside before getting flowers.

One question....is this an indeterminate or determinate breed? If indeterminate you might want to top the plant otherwise you'll have major overgrowth. Nice plant!!

next time. top your plant so it says short and bushy you'll get a much better yield then tall and lengthy
