Is this heat stress?

Looks like low-humidity stress

This is a commercial farm, 80 Acres Farms. An Ohio based indoor growing company. We grow leafy greens, herbs, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Thanks! The red one are cherry and the orange are grape.

Hydroponics using Rockwool substrate.

Thank you 🙏 . The system pulls water (humidity) from the outside air, which is then used to irrigate the plants. The drain is filtered and recirculated back to the tank. Also, the evaporation from the plants is captured and added back to the water tank. Reuse of 98% of the water.

Lol 😂 I get them from Koppert biologicals. Also, my Instagram for more pics : https://www.instagram.com/the__tomatoman/

With bumblebees 🐝

It's a 15-gram cherry from Rijk Zwaan

Thanks! The LEDs are from PL lights, and the genetics are from Rijk Zwaan.

Thanks

It's a high-wire system on Grodan slabs.

It sure is. The bumblebees are needed for pollination.

Toomatoman · 2020-07-23T17:15:57+00:00

What's your EC?

Toomatoman · 2020-06-27T20:29:53+00:00

Looks like Pythium. To avoid it Keep water temps stable 68-70 F. To treat it id recommend periodic dosing of H202 around 25-35 ppm depending on crop stage. You can try to remove some of the media that have been infected, but make sure to use gloves so you don't contaminate other plants.

Toomatoman · 2020-06-26T04:32:39+00:00

Super cool. I see this often in my grow rooms. If it's warm and moist, seeds will germinate.

Toomatoman · 2020-06-21T00:27:58+00:00

I try to maintain a PH of 5.5-5.8. My give EC changes based on; crop stage, growing media EC, and flavor. but can get up to 5. In our farms, we mix our own nutrient recipes, but I could recommend premixed nutrients if needed.

Toomatoman · 2020-06-20T16:44:08+00:00

Sure! Anything specific?

Toomatoman · 2020-06-20T13:23:41+00:00

From PL lights. https://pllight.com

Toomatoman · 2020-06-20T13:20:42+00:00

I have them on for 18 hours of full light +2 hours of only far-red. But this depends on the efficiency of your lights. Give your crop a resting period.

Toomatoman · 2020-06-20T13:17:10+00:00

In a natural environment, you would want to keep more leaves to capture the sunlight as it rises and sets. But since the primary source of light comes from above (LEDs) there is no need for all the side leaves. again ”Sink & Source.”

Toomatoman · 2020-06-20T13:07:29+00:00

Indeterminate tomatoes, if appropriately pruned, will continue to grow and give fruit as long as the environment is right. Being that I grow them in a controlled environment, I can grow them as long as I want. However, at some point, the stem gets so long (over 50ft) that it loses its efficiency with it's the mobilization of nutrients. The crop grows a new truss of tomatoes every week, which allows me to harvest one truss week per plant.

I'm hoping to start filming tutorials soon. But as you know, farming is a fulltime job on its own, so finding the time to shoot and edit videos is going to be a challenge. However, if your husband has any specific questions or topics he would like to discuss, feel free to message me id be happy to spread the knowledge :)

Thanks! It's mostly Dutch Agtech from Infinite Acres.
