single truss tomatoes ripening

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

single truss tomatoes ripening. this is probably the best experience I've had growing tomatoes indoors, a few things had to click for it to work. small pot sizes, bottom watering, a specific pruning method (leave only 2 leaves above the truss), and some electronic buzz pollination tool to get a reliable fruit set. in the environment there's about 3 plants in a 2010 tray, airflow is low to help with isolation, and I have peppers and tomatoes alternated. it's a good test run for a short rotation, and hey we have ripe tomatoes very fast.
