Hydroponic Tomatoes & Strawberries

[carinia]

Theyre on 12/12 at the edge of the light pattern, and I havent noticed to much stretch (due to light, anyway) which I think is owed to the intensive cage and squeezing stem system. Couldn;t be easier really!

Same, I don't exactly know what you mean by this?

Thanks for the input though, and don't stop it from coming out. If your stoned and just want to ramble, do it here, lol.

good to know about these rambling threads..
hard to come by.. and often abandoned
hope you can get the berries soon.. and i looked into it and there are none available for another couple months here.. then they are commercially available.. and cheap too :thumbsup:
i am really curious as to how well these will do and wether it is a cost effective way to get your fruits.. other than the fun of growing them of corse.. that is pricless..

ok if we can ramble then I got 1 for ya. Anyone ever switch from an MH bulb to a HPS bulb for their last week of veg to encourage a little stretch?? I think Loc and I talked a lil bit bout this before but cant remember

Yes, I have come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to be able to find some live plants anytime soon, but I have looked at a couple sites that send bare root seedlings which, unless I went somewhere and asked them to wash off the dirt on the bottom of my plants before I bought them, is ex-fucking-actly what I'm looking for so if boredom overcomes me, I will spend the god damn $60 or so that it costs to get the seedlings sent, well thats if I order the maters and the berries, might jsut get some berries, seeing as they are what I need.

And no worries about the rambling, gives me something to stare at, lol.

I don't think I'm going to need to make them stretch, seeing as they are vines and I'm going to need to lattice the shit outta these puppies.

We shall see.

Teehee, I meant they are on the edge of my light. Basically all my important little ladies are directly underneath, and then the 'maters are kinda kicked off to the side where they don't receive as much direct juice.

I have to say, since this is a rambling thread, that Mother Earth News magazine let me down for the first time today by not including best container growing varieties in their article this month. Sweet Millions topped out at #4 tho in the cherry group!

'Round here Ace Hardware usually has some strawberry starters all year round. Sounds like an odd place to look, I know, but theyve always been pretty reliable. May be worth it to check it out and wash off the dirt yourself!

Hmm, I'll have to take a look around and see if there's anything alive yet at any stores. The hardware store I used to work at was going to open a nursery, so who knows.

While we are rambling and having a good time...

...I always thought it would be fun to start an indoor veggie garden and then have someone "anonymously" drop the dime on you. Then while you had a lawsuit on file against your local law enforcement you could switch out to weed and fly forever under the radar.

Not that I would ever suggest this sort of conspiracy...

[ForgetClassC]

Yeah, NO!

Definitely not.
