Has it already been a year?!
It's been some time since I've posted the progress on the tomato plants. Unfortunately, the demands of work and life have prevented me from giving the time necessary to accurately document the growth, as well as take care of the tomato plants.
The plants ended up overgrowing the green/leaf/vegitation and the fruit wasn't the size I wanted. These three were a first lesson in tomato growing. This was a lot of fun for me, and there will be round two (which is already started).
After the jump - I will share what I did document in progress, and the link to the photostream on Flickr that has more detail.
The next post I'll show the beginnings of my next round of indoor gardening!
Starting with the little plants that are ready to be moved into the hydroponic buckets - I setup the hyrdoponic bucket.
This is the contents of what came with the Power Grower Eco. This self contained hydroponic system comes with everything - the clay pellets, the hoses, the air compressor (to circulate the nutrients), and and chemicals/nutrients to get started.
The root structure from just being planted in the rockwool. The roots have overtaken most of the rockwool and they're quite healthy!
This is the tomato plant in its final home.
The nutrients cycle through the bucket, from the bottom where the reservoir is kept through the verticle tube (as air is forced in from the bottom) and through the ring around the plant.
The tomato plant's roots will expand throughout the clay pellets, and grow.
