Tomatos alog side weed in hydro?

unity · #1 07-01-2008, 12:23 PM

OK, this is going to be a odd question, but I was wondering if I can grow a tomato plant along side a weed plant in a hydro set up without compromising the weed. Not in the same pot, but with the same res. & nutes.
Sounds crazy but I got my reasons

Thanks mate! If I wanted a very small tomato plant, when would I need to flip it? Does it go on 12/12 like weed?
I'm sorry, you can see I no nothing about tomatos

It isnt light cycles that determine fruit plants it is a hormone, so your lighting regime wont make any diff.

tomatoes are "autoflowering" regardless of the light cycle

All fruit plants are hormone driven when it comes to their fruiting phase, you could say 'autoflowering' I suppose. Its more like a timing mechanism that ensures that fruit is produced, so seeds are spread and so on and so on. Guaranteed reproduction.

your reasons

1. Tomatoes are VERY expensive where you live
2. Your girl is pregnant and has cravings for fresh tomatoes
3. you want to try and produce tomannabis, a THC packed fruit great in salads.

close?

Lol, very nice

but my reason is far more 'primitive'
I was very busy building my new grow space, and my 8 year old with his imense brain figured out within minutes what the intake was needed for (as in fresh air for plants) next he figured out that the fans must be for ventilation etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all legal, have my card etc. but didn't want him to have to keep a secret, so I told him we can groe vegetables in there

. To which he replied: I can't wait.

So,if I do not want to be a lier I have to produce some veggies

So Woomeister, is it possible then to keep the plant small or is that done with strain?

you can keep it a large or as small as you please, it depends on how long you veg for. The sativa will stretch more than an indica.
