When it's cold or rainy my cat sits at the door and yells at me to fix it so he can go out.

Have any of you grown tomatoes indoors under LED lighting?
If so, did you start from seed or from greenhouse plants?

I didn't see this till just now. Up until yesterday I had four Trip-L Crop (Italian tree) tomato seedlings under a mars II 400. They started looking bleached so I took them out. I started them from seed (they were in the 72 cell tray pic weeks ago) and they are currently in 4" deep root tree pots. I did not start them under the LED, but under a T5.

Thanks Heirloom! Bleached I don't want.....I wonder if a T5 would be fine for the entire growth? I'm sure I could train or LST a tomato plant like I can do with Cannabis. I need to find some pots big enough though. This is the time of year when everything at the nurseries are marked up 1000%. Tis the season to make money. LOL

It wasn't that long ago that I bought a bundle (at least 25) of Rutgers tomatoes for about $2. Those were some of the best tomatoes I ever grew. Oh my, I should look for my show box full of flower and vegetable seeds.

Were they big fat, beefy? What I love and cannot live without it seems, is tomatoes on the grill filled with a little real Parmesan and some bacon bits. It's heaven!

I can't eat anything without ketchup on it just about but I would eat dirt before I would eat a tomato...

That's just plain weird......
I have cold tomato sandwiches whenever I can get them fresh, and toasted 'mator sandwiches for snacks at night. Yum Yum

This has been the view from my trimming chair all morning. He's been steadily watching me work:
I don't see why you couldn't use t5 all the way.
Rutgers I consider a medium slicer. Not as big as Beefsteak or Mortgage lifter. I cannot wait for fresh toms. I harvested that pig a couple months ago and have bacon in the freezer just waiting for fresh lettuce and toms. MMMMMmmmmm BLT's.

I don't know what to say about that other than my Son is the same way.

I watched my Dad put ketchup on his rice whenever we ate it as a kid. I couldn't eat it that way, I tried. Lol.

Sink sandwiches. Tomato slices so juicy the only safe place to eat them is over the sink.

I had an old storage bin, old soil, and an old potato and now I have this new potato plant. Not a tomato but it rhymes.

Fella eats them like that.. Actually it's his favorite sandwich plus mayo and puckumber sandwiches...
I even put ketchup on my cabbage and black eyed peas but not pancakes... That's a bit much for even me.......

I would just like to state that while I may live in an area that is awfully...welllll, how shall I say....ummmm.....white bread and bologna (mid-south).....I'm not from here. It's been....interesting...trying to fulfill some cravings. I have a heck of a time getting a decent multi grain bread, lol. Racks full of white and wheat-ish white bread. Narry a shelf of honey-wheat, 9 grain, sour dough, rye etc. And I can't tell you how much I miss good sushi. And carne asada burritos. For me, a So Cal boy, when Taco Bell is by far the best Mexican food available, quality of life goes down a couple notches. The fried chicken and BBQ kicks arse here though!
Ketchup and hot sauce on pancakes? That must be down in Louisiana or Florida, lol. I don't think the locals are that nutty here.
