Day 164 of the Tomato garden. Hubby and I didn't have the heart to pull the plug on so many green tomatoes! One plant had only 2 tiny tomatoes, so that one went. There are 2 remaining. I plan to put the unit into "Vacation" mode and keep the homemade AeroVoir going to it. Hoping that they will take their time in ripening and hang in their for our return!

We're back and they did very well on their own! We got home and Mikey said, what's wrong with the AG, the light is out? Vacation mode! The water cooler kept things well watered. The lights let things slow down. Not a single tomato was lost...  I picked a bunch and there is at least an equal amount that should be vine ripened within a day or two.   |

Amazing harvest!! Glad they did well while you were away! Thank you so much, maskedsonnet! You know it wouldn't have happened, were it not for your idea and your help for the watering system to last 10 days for a Farm!  |

Glad I could help!! Long vacations were my biggest worry when I started AG, knowing the plants won’t die while you’re away makes the vacation that much more enjoyable!!

Thank you maskedsonnet and Sher! I tried not to fret...and I kept checking water level. It seemed that all was well and turns out it was! Having adequate water and the shortened light cycle made things work...or sit in a stasis, or sorts. I love it!!! |

Great to hear that Vacay mode did its job and that you came home to a nice harvest.

Today, I picked the last 4 cherry tomatoes and ended the tomato garden. It was a good, long run, with lots and lots of tomatoes!  |
