how is everyone's plants growing so far ? mine are ok, i left them under the florescent light at 24 hours a day a little to long. so mine turned a little yellow because of that, but they will be ok.there is still plenty of time to start if you haven't.!!! mine are only 2" tall and they will have red tomatoes by mid February so not to late.

Hopefully by thanksgiving weekend i will be starting. I have never grown a giant tomato before so probably will make many rookie mistakes. Over the winter I will be trying giant carrots also. It will be good to still grow when the garden is covered with snow. I will try to keep current with diary.

I have four clones growing hydoponically in Dutch buckets under LEDs. The plants are doing well, about 12 inches tall. I expect fruit set before Christmas.

I'm just getting started. Took a cutting from my last outside mater that was still alive. Also starting seeds this weekend. Heading to the local hydro store after work to get a new grow light. Its on! :-)

Got two going about 12 inches tall - I have never grown them so I don't have any comparison to go off of but they look good to me - using a combo of LEDS and natural sunlight - its been a lot of fun so far

Mine are just getting their first true leaves now. Started them in rock wool and gonnna try some grafting and hopefully grow one hydroponically. Winter is perfect time to experiment and gives me something to do.

Awesome Obie1. My plants flowers were not developing right,it might have been that 16 hours of light was too much. I went down to 14 and now I have a normal looking bloom about to open! Good luck to all,i don't think I'll be much of a contender.lol

Lol thanks porkchop - that's your seed my friend so technically it's your fat bloom - I've been doing the toothbrush for about 3 days at the first sign of yellow - I've been humping it like a fat old bumble bee about three times a day - will find out if she takes soon - fingers crossed
