ive read here that tomatoes are not photoperiod sensitive, but im having trouble getting them from flower to fruit. I have a fan in the grow room to help spread the pollen as well as a few bees. Im using general hydroponic nutes at a a ratio of 3:2:2 for grow:micro:bloom. Ive heard that the tomato fruit is where the build up of excess sugars is stored, how do i make the plant do this? Btw the plants i have are enormous, about the size of my grandmother.

for flower/fruiting u would want to use something lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus and potassium. try some bloom nutes:bigjoint:

The correct answer is 5ml(MICRO) / 10ml(Bloom) per gallon. This is known as the lucas formula and works quite well with marijuana and tomatoes! Don't fiddle with the grow the micro and bloom provides everything the plant needs, extra phosphorous, potassium 1:2 ratio.

Foliar feed the same amount and work your way up to about
10ml(Micro) / 20ml (Bloom)
Pick a carbohydrate like AN Bud Candy 2ml per gallon and increase gradually
Maybe Humbolt Snowstorm, Superthrive, Tarantula or any other additive that's proven to do what it says.
