Whilst September the first is recognised as the start of Spring, and is generally seen as the start of the traditional growing season, our crops are already moving along well in their controlled environment despite the cooler weather outside.
The tomato plants were transferred from sitting on top of the plastic of the groslabs, to being placed directly on to the pre wetted rockwool.
This obviously agreed with them as they extended their roots to become firmly attached to the rockwool within 2 days!
At the moment we are ensuring that we get good root development from the plants without allowing them to grow to vegetatively - this is a fine balance between growing too vegetatively and retaining a more generative growth pattern.
The first flower trusses are also now setting, and we will soon be taking side shoots from the existing plants to make additional heads for increased production.
