Hello Scoop1, if your talking hydro, I think irrigator(sp?) in one of the hydro
threads was growing for sale toms, somewhere's up in the NE. Had a very nice
pic of his set up. Had a rotating crop of Det's. under shade cloth in a run to
waste system.
As a hobby grower, I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor. I just to them out of
the refrig to take a pic. You can't even see the sunscald, very good flavor and
good producer for an O-P tom.

Hello Scoop1, I checked retail prices today at The Mall Korat's Hypermart and
they ran Bt. 89-109@kg for red western type toms, most come from CM
and I've shown pictures of their toms in the hydro threads. You can look at
http://www.datt.co.th/ and it shows what they grow, they also sell seed.
I have no idea what farm produce markup(%) is, but most Thais don't spend
Bt.89-109@kg for toms.
Yes I got your @, and am very sorry for not replying.
Nutes, I've just used pre-mesured kits from ACK and later weigh your own
WESCO formula, from bulk chems.
My understanding is that from basic A-B nutes is that to find out where you
are on the growing highway, you need a map, 'tissue culture' to see what
your plants are lacking or over in. That be me then, the timing must of been
right tho, I had the best crop of toms even with plants falling over. More fruit
and better size with the WESCO formula. Yes, it may need to be tweaked, but
I only know how to follow the formula, not how to change it, and know that
it's preforming better. Does the water you use, also what growing your plant/s
in(rice hulls/coir/rockwool/sand/gravel/hydrotron) also have an effect to the
plants requirement, not just pH?  
After the 7th, and the masa corn is in, might be able to get my head around
what I can't see now.
