Tomato News

The Cherry Toms have continued to sprout flowers all over each plant.  Roma Toms continue to baffle me a bit.  Roma in the AeroFlo36 has made a great comeback but still is slower than the Cherry was in the AeroFlo36.  We are suffering from "leaf curl" with the PowerGrower Roma and I need to get the books out tonight to research a solution.  Funny thing is, it actually sported its first flower yesterday.
Roma in PowerGrower - notice "leaf curl"

Cherry Toms in PowerGrower - adding flowers daily

Roma "kickback" adding veg, no flowers, no leaf curl.  Hmmm
I have continued pulling suckers off the Cherry Tom plants and now that the CO2 is back on in the room we have seen more growth than ever before.  After no CO2 for a week, you can really notice the difference in the veg that was added during this week now that it is back on.  Lesson learned - if you want it to grow bigger and faster, add CO2.  We run 1500 ppm.
