Well, it's time for me to fess up on my fail.lol I was unable to get my winter challenge tomato to set fruit.:( I tried first my hps bulb for weeks, then tried to go back to my mh but no luck. I ended up just letting the plant go wild and it turned into a 5 foot wide bush. It had over 100 flowers, but all just dropped off. I'm not sure what the problem was but I have an idea, my humidity was way low because I had to vent the closet both when the light was on , because of to much heat and when the light was off because the closet would get so cold. That drastic change in temperature was not what the plant wanted . Or there was a nutrient problem, one that I could not figure out. Oh well .it was fun and I'm glad I gave it a try. Looks like Qtip is in the leed with 12.8oz, great job man, your a better indoor grower then me!!! (this time muhahaha) lol. Also, nice fish man!!!!! Best of luck to the remaining growers in the challenge. I will post in the tomato forum a little before spring so we can see how everyone did, I've got them nice ribbons to send out and none of them get to stay with me.lol

This is just a test if I can get my pics upright.

That didn't work. I rotated the pic on my phone but it still posted on its side. Not a big deal but if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please shoot me an email.
