New Tomato Grow - Grow 7

The configuration changes in our room are complete.  The new Stealth Grow LED Veg and  Bloom lights have replaced the HIDs and the Monster Ebb n Grow is now the home of a few tomato plants.  We are a little behind on posting updates to our blog due to another project we have been working on here at the ranch.

We started Grow 7 about a month ago.  Several new tomato plants were started from seed including some of the hybrids tried in a previous grow as well as a few new ones.  We are really looking forward to the "ice" tomatoes which are basically white cherry tomatoes.  We wanted to start a new grow with the new LED lights so we could assess the full impact on the plants from seed to fruit.  The plants did incredible under the Stealth Grow Veg LED and now they are under the Ebb N Grow system (small pots)

We transplanted three of our 9 month old plants from the PowerGrower into the Monster Ebb n Grow system.  We had issues with the PowerGrower and large tomato plants with root creep clogging up the plumbing.  With the tomatoes all transplanted we are hopeful that the aggressive pruning we did (literally hacked them down to an 8 inch stalk to start new growth) will allow them to continue to produce.  So far they are putting on new leaves and looking well.
