Indoor Gardening Experiment. [View all]

I'm an avid tomato grower and have several raised beds for heirloom varieties like Pink Brandywine, Black Cherry, Black Krim, Mortgage Lifter, and Yellow Pear. But that's only for Spring/Summer. This year I built an indoor growing cage and decided to grow Glacier tomatoes, as they are very cold tolerant and are a quick 50 day tomato as a winter hobby/experiment.

I started the seeds under my standard T5HO lights and kept them under this for two months. Once I had a good set of tomatoes, I switched to LED lights which caused quite a growth spurt. I have 3 Glacier tomatoes and a control cherry tomato. So far so good.
