Kratky Tiny Tim Tomatoes

[Kia]

Hello Everyone,

I’m growing Tiny Tim tomatoes in 32 oz Kratky jars, started on Sept 16.  Seeds RDR purchased on Amazon.  I plan to move the plants over to 64 oz jars in the next week or two.  Do you think that is necessary?  The plants are now starting to drink more water and I’m getting really nice air roots!  I started the seeds with no nutrients on rock wool then moved to the Kratky jars at @ 2 weeks.  One of the plants did not make it due to curling leaves.   I used the 3 part GH Flora series.  The plants seem to love the nutrients so I will continue to use but plan to try MaxiBloom for future Kratky/DWC grows.  Much easier to to mix in my apartment.

Light: Ezorkas full spectrum, 0-24 timer, 96 watts, plants seem to like the light.

I believe the plants will pollinate on their own.  I’m not sure so I’ll tap every few days.  I think I can also use a fan to pollinate.

How do the plants look to you?  Any suggestions for success?

The plants look great!

I would transfer them to larger jars when they get bigger because they drink more and it is easier to maintain the 2-1/2" - 3" airspace under they netpot for air roots that Dr. Kratky recommended when you refill the nutrients.

These are growing nicely.

p.s. You just shake the tomato plant gently once the flowers are open to pollinate them. I usually do it once a day.
