lucid gem

lucid gem. just enjoying these modern bicolor tomatoes. this batch i've posted is the results from single truss tomatoes grown under lights jan 30-may 20 so about 3.5 months from start to a finished ripe fruit. the experiment was to see if I could grow out just a few in ideal conditions to get some photos. when I grow outdoors, often I'm picking fruit in september ahead of a frost, and green. here the plants are maximally pruned, just two leaves above a truss, which is buzz pollinated with a tool to make sure we get a good fruit set in isolation. it worked great, a bit cramped at 3 plants per 1020 tray with bottom water, but manageable. this setup has me thinking about maybe double truss, or some other training methods. maybe a good environment for breeding, with several generations per year.
