My first giant tomato of the year! By giant standards it may not be much to brag about but I'm still pleased. It's the largest that I've been able to locate grown in Tennessee at 3.17 pounds. Rumor has it that there are others growing this year in Tn so I don't expect it to be on top long. It was grown hydroponically on a 4.5 Evans and is open pollinated. Speaking of hydro. I'm not getting the gains on melons that I hoped for. Yesterday I drastically increased the run time of system. Sunny day. Temp reached 92°. Great day for melon growth. Gains fell by nearly 50% on ALL melons. Was this too much water? Water temp too high? Would this have happened anyway? Adjustments coming later. Got to remember this is just an experiment. Going to shorten time and change fert program to ad a bit more K. Fingers crossed.
