Im moving it in tomorrow. This way i can get that net on the ones in there.

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

And some rubber coated wire

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Ready to go

Do you ever take off the lowers on the tomato plant? The branches closest to the soil always seem to get like that. I never had any success with tomatoes even growing them upside down!

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Lol me too. My tomatoes always suffer. Actually i just grew this one to have a plant to feed my wastes nutes to. Lol. I suck at tomatoes but considering this one is alive still its a win. Lol
Its actually funny you say that.
Bit of a story
Growing up my late father was a total science nerd. Bless him
My Dad was interested and dabbled in everything. He grew up on a farm and was always interested in gardening. For 4 or 5 years, he got into hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers. I helped him build his greenhouse setup his hydro system. PLus I stored my motorcycle in it lol The little bit I know I got from him. I asked Mom the other day and she said she thinks the one year he got 150lbs of tomatoes
I clearly remember tomatoes bigger than the hamburger bun!!!

Oh oh. Pollen sack?

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Or does that look female? Tough to tell

 

[InTheShed]

Pollen sack?

Give it a few days and see if a pistil comes out of the end.

I'm the smallest bit concerned about some lower leaves on the big ones. Looks like they're starting to yellow. Same in real life?

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Just that one branch. Ill check again when i get home. What else could it be?

 

[InTheShed]

Rotate the plants and see if it's on all the lowers and check both plants. Could be a natural fade but they both seem to be lighter on the bottom.

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Well. You are right. Its getting worse. Its absolutely only the one plant. Its the plant that split where i topped it. The other one has zero signs of it.
The ONLY difference between the two is the split. And this one had pipecleaners on. Maybe it was poisoned by pipecleaners?
They are fed and watered the exact same
Most of the yellowing leaves dont get much light. From the top you barely see them

 

[InTheShed]

Looks like a straight up magnesium deficiency to me. Also, I'd use electrical tape next time.

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

Heres the other one. No signs.

 

[InTheShed]

Yup...just the one it looks like.

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

They get this every feeding.
Ive givin it half strength since seedling. Should i up it??
I would think both plants would be suffering.

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

They were watered fairly heavily yesterday
I could give her more water with stronger dose of my calpro?
That cal pro says it will eliminate calcium and magnesium problems.
But like I said Ive used half rec. dose
maybe I hurt her worse than I thought by pulling her apart

More like this:

 

[SlightlyDistracting]

ill go get some right now
How and when should I administer it considering they were watered yesterday
I feed them every other watering

 

[InTheShed]

I feed every watering. I'd wait until it's dry and then start it on a lower dose (3 ml/gallon) and then see if it progresses.
