    I agree, tomatos can grow funny ugly gnarly branches and leaves and be perfectly healthy.... same can be said for some of their fruit... not much to look at, but fabulous on a sandwich!

    Had to move plant outdoors from indoors, some questions.

    I always start outdoor plants inside then move them out. As with any plant you should condition the plant by taking it out everyday and placing in a spot that does get direct sunlight for a week then move her to a good site with some sunshine and plant in the ground, I dig a hole twice the size...

    found this plant out side

    Try again... one good lesson I learned from the first attempts is that plants of any kind need care, but don't overlove them! Leave them be to do their thing and they will do best! I know its hard at first, but the busier I stay working or doing other projects and the less time I stay in the...

    Whats the deal with those T5 lights?

    T5's arent designed for anything but veg are they? Anyone used them to flower? I know I read in National Garden Wholesale catalog it has a banner saying propagation and below it another saying full term lighting but my buddy who runs a LGS only talks about them like any other flourescent for veg.

    T5 Lighting
