Yes I had unbelievable Tomatoes last year from the spikes!! Been meaning to try this indoors for a couple years now and I'm finally doing itAlso interested in your time release fert, I use similar stuff in flowerbeds and outdoor random plants and it kicks ass(patience required)
Thanks for following along, I think it's going to be fun & interesting! I've been wanting to do this for a while, I chose Romberry because the plant is virtually bulletproof, it's a really strong grower!Fertilizer spike grow. Nice! Im in to watch. Been looking foward to this since you mentioned it on riu.
Plant sure looks great so far. But we know ocean forest can do it. I have been considering time release ferts mixed in to the soil mix for flowering but am always afraid it wont work as well as watering in soluble nutes.

Well I don't know how this one's going to go either if I'm honest!? LOL but these Jobes spikes sure put hundreds of beautiful tomatoes on the table last season!A few years back there was a tomato spike grow going on one of the big weed sites. Cant remember which but the grower had tons of spikes in the dirt and the plants were stretching in a garden bed maybe in a greenhouse. But like most grow threads. It stopped before much into flowering. So i have no idea if the dude got rich and had no time to keep posting or poor and ran away with his tail between his legs. Lol. ;-)
What I suspect is going to happen is the plant's going to show a lack of nitrogen early and there'll be a lot of premature yellowing and Leaf Drop because the 6 - 18 - 6 is just not enough nitrogen to get a plant through the stretch, but I could be wrong?

That's right this plant has not received any fertilizer in over a month!?since it went into the fox farm on the 3rd of this month it's received
Well someday I will grow a Romberry with plant spikes just because I'm pissed off about it now, but this plant's already 42" tall and the extra couple weeks I had to hold those Blackberry gum has made me reconsider this stunt, mainly cuz I'm sick of my light pinned to the ceiling
I don't even pee before coffee let alone think. Tisk tisk tisk.Full disclosure: First watering since I put the spiked Romberry into flower I screwed up! LOL first thing this morning, pre-coffee (I should have known better :/ ) I poured 20 oz of 500ppm 20-20-20 into it, catching myself halfway and not pouring the full 40 oz, which I quickly switched to only plain 6.5pH water. Back on track now. No biggie but it did deserve mentioning I suppose
Oh man I got to put a bell & a whistle on that plant to make it stick out a little bit LOL!? I'm probably going to mess up again too :/ I figured that would happen at some point but I can't believe it happened on the very first watering?! lmao!I don't even pee before coffee let alone think. Tisk tisk tisk.
I gotta write everything down or I'll get so stoned I won't remember my mother's maiden name.Oh man I got to put a bell & a whistle on that plant to make it stick out a little bit LOL!?
