Tidy- cat hydro tomato

we are getting hotter weather this week & first day over 100 degrees wilted them severely but next day they seem to be pulling out of it beefsteak is gonna produce first I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of this family & friends alike marvel at them it's a lot less work than gardening in soilimage.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg
 
the blossom on the beefsteak is 3x the size of anything in my garden I'm thinking it's going to produce large tomatoes the homestead although shorter & stockier is starting to develop blooms as well getting a lot of fun out of this image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg
 
Lmao!:mrgreen: I thought I was the only one.lol.. I've made top feed systems using a 3 gallon tidy cat bucket with lots of holes and placed it in the 5 Gallon with a small fountain pumpThen filled it with hydroton . bamb top feed , worked awesomely.
In fact here's a little one 0703161706.jpgmade from a folgers can, well a cambo bubble bucket/top feed

Looking good I love little projects that have a happy outcome I save those folgers containers too just returned from a camping trip I'll update photos later today
 
it's funny I've grown tomatoes off & on most of my adult life but I've never fully understand their lifecycle it seems like they are auto flowers as I planted the homestead about 1 week behind the beefsteak from seed & true to form I've got my first homestead tomato about a week behind the beefsteak so now in hydro I've got 6 beefsteaks & 1 homestead I'm starting to enjoy thisimage.jpeg
 
trimmed a lot of the damaged growth the beefsteak is producing more tomatoes than I can count somewhere close to a dozen & I keep finding more next year I'm gonna start seeds in early February image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg
 
Your tomatoes look great. I tried hydro tomatoes outside last year. It turned into work. I made the mistake of doing 10 in 5 gal buckets... i ended up giving away flats of tomatoes.
