It's now Day 53. I've been taking pictures every 2-3 days and deciding not to post them when I see that the one I just took looks a lot like the one from several days ago. Well, I looked at the last one that I posted 12 days ago, and can definitely see the difference! Look at them now!

WOW that is gorgeous!

[Shawn]

That is doing wonderful!

[MaryL]

Incredible. I hope mine do even somewhat as well.  You should submit this to the AG Facebook page to win photo of the week. And a free kit.

I haven't been over there for AGES..are they still giving away kits?

Tomorrow would be Day 56, but they got an emergency rinse/refill when I tested the pH and found it at 4.44. I didn't realize just how many tomatoes there were until I got a good look at them without the hood in the way:

Yikes jcosmo!

[Shawn]

Talk about tomatoes... there are a lot of them.

[jcosmo]

Here they are at 10 weeks (day 70)!

Thanks for the eye candy!

[Shawn]

I have to say they do look good.

[MaryL]

Yaaay!!!

It's Day 98. The next rinse-and-refill is due in 14 days, but I'm thinking about terminating it before then. I've been struggling with the pH in most of the machines, but this one seems to have been hit the hardest, and it doesn't look very healthy anymore. Growth and ripening are very slow, though it has been forming new buds since I pruned away a lot of the discolored leaves and branches.

In its place, I will probably plant two different micro-dwarf varieties that I haven't yet grown in an AG or in a container.

I'm so sorry you're having troubles! I haven't had any pH issues so far.

[Shawn]

Lots of ripe one on there.

[MaryL]

Have you been able to taste one yet?  I’m very curious because they are such different looking tomatoes. Mine are just starting to change color.

Yes...please comment on taste!
