http://gs150.photobucket.com/groups/s99/JYBOULBQZW/?sort=ascending Ok finally got some pics of my setup!! My question to the people here is,

how much bigger should i push these tomatos? These are the kind that keep producing so im not too worried about filling them up with flowering nutes

early but, they only want 1000 ppm atm!!! Both the 3 tomato and 4 pepper plants are throwing flowers (is it true what i heard that flowering is a sign of

your plants getting rid of excess sugars and is thier only way of getting rid of them?)

From what my nutes say ( Botonicare pro grow) that full size veg takes around 2000ppm, being as im only at half that im alittle nervous. But doing some

research (testing everything in sight lol) i found that my tap water

is around 250ppm of that so now im really confused, how big do these suckers wanna get?? My concern is thier root mass size as they only really have like

1.5' of that dome to thierselves (i should have routed the tom roots towards the peppers but woops lol) So whatta you guys think, i already have like a 2"

tomato growing on each plant with atleast 4 flowers apiece flowering(figure thats like 1 flower nonhydro). Another concern of mine is my habaneros

created massive amounts of flowers like atleast 50 a piece and the peppers took awhile to turn (i know im suppose to clip off a bunch of flowers buy hey

its my little plant =) i dont wanna have 20 unripe tomatos off these suckers and it starts getting too cold you know. I live in CT if that helps that,but any

advice would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone would like to build one of these i dont mind running down the specs its pretty simple really.

Are your plants 250PPM or 2500PPM? Do you have a timer to water the plants, or does it run constantly like an Aeroflo? more details, please. run down the specs for us, please. :)
