8 Months of growing Tiny Tim tomatoes in Aerogarden Harvest Hydroponics

[@pennym6196]

Wow! Absolutely unbelievable! 8 months... and you had an endless supply! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@angeredsmile2]

I like your no nonsense videos :) thank you

[@LindaBJDFan]

That was pretty incredible. You've convinced me to try some cherry tomatoes in my Aerogarden. I hadn't tried it before because I thought one plant would be too big. Thanks.

[@Moonchilling]

I have three AeroGardens and I’m going to purchase 2 more. I just love having fresh produce and herbs at my finger tips.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That's the spirit. Yes, fresh produce is always amazing.

[@carolinen1356]

I will receive my first aerogarden soon. I have been watching your videos all evening. You are the greatest! I am loving your experiments. Thank you from Montreal.

[@samc.9996]

Glad I came across your channel! Just ordered the Harvest Amazon Prime Special 🙌🏾🤸🏾‍♂️

[@rainerrain9689]

How's the harvest going ?

[@josberry8180]

Such beautiful plants, mine are currently 25 days in. Love all your videos! 🌱

[@goodwind6256]

Very nice ! I have two Tiny Tim Tomato plants in my Aerogarden Harvest Classic ( the old version of the Harvest model). Right now they are about 90 days old and doing fine. Lots of fruits are developing and I am enjoying them too. Excellent video again 👍🙂

[@makeoversbymeme2077]

How much longer before harvest time ?

[@goodwind6256]

@@makeoversbymeme2077 Well, I cannot tell you an exact date…there are green fruits and ripe fruits and whenever I want I grab a few of them and eat them. The later fruits are even getting a bit larger. Unfortunately I can‘t remember when I could harvest my very first tomato!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Wow, the Tiny Tim is a very good producer. I will be trying it. Thank you.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, Tiny Tim is my all-time favorite so far.

[@MattGarver]

Nice job with your video! This is helpful as I grow dwarf tomato plants. I did not know that small varieties like Tiny Tim seem to grow large eventually and outgrow the little light on the aerogarden. I would want to take cuttings and start three new tomato plants to replaced the original plants. Another idea that I had was be using a larger grow system. Your video helped with planning.

[@raybon7939]

8 months of production from really one seed and prob 10 gallons of water is very successful it's a model for the future.

[@Dawnfinn03]

Wow wish mine looked like yours I will try again . And do what you did! Thanks for sharing !

[@deehermione943]

Wow! What a harvest!!

[@5gorgeous]

Amazing growth of tomatoes! Well done! 👍👍👍Did you try to change the water every 2 month instead of every month? some say they don't change water at all because they keep on adding new water every time, so there's no need to change? What is the longest that you haven't change the water and did it make any difference?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

For tomato plants, I change water after every crop, which is usually 90 days. I noticed many times that the roots get into water float in the first 30-45 days. If so, I take that as an opportunity to clean the bowl and add fresh water.

Thank you for your support.

[@vampiro664]

Im growing tiny tims for the first time this year.So far I have 8 plants. Cant wait till harvest time.

[@yvencia1150]

Great video and thank you for sharing ☺😊🍅🍅

[@samljer]

Try Micro Tom The plants are like half the size of Tiny Tim.

[@sarahw.3548]

So do I understand correctly that you did nothing for pollination? Do you use a fan or anything? I know that most tomatoes are self-pollinating but I wonder how they manage indoors. Thanks for the great content.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That is correct. I did nothing for pollination and I don't even use the fan. Not only this variety, I never hand pollinated any cherry tomato varieties.

[@callaflower221]

I cannot believe you had FOUR plants in a harvest. I am currently growing 2 in a bounty. Day 45.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I believe 3 can do very well in Bounty. Since it's already day 45, it's better to keep it like that for now.

[@claudiasanchez2639]

Increible el crecimiento. Estoy emocionada con lo que pueda suceder en el mio

[@nancyspruiell347]

I'm so glad u have this! I just planted some Tiny Tim seeds from MI Gardener in soil last week. Then I bought an offbrand aeroponic system this week. I have everything I need to do this! Have you used any of his fertilizers in your Aerogarden? Subscribing to your channel immediately!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Thank you. I use Aerogarden nutrients in many other (non-Aerogarden) hydroponic systems.

[@nancyspruiell347]

@aerogardenexperiments Luke (MI gardener) has a liquid fertilizer that says it can be used in hydroponics so I'm thinking it could be used for aeroponics...maybe that could be one of your experiments ;)

[@angeredsmile2]

I am curious what you did for feeding on this one,. I feed A/B everytime I water according to the A/B instructions, I want to get better, I've got 5 going right now, so addictive lol

[@thequantaleaper]

How often did they need water topped off? And were you using Aerogarden nutrients once every 2 weeks? This is incredible, thanks for your good content.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yes, I use just Aerogarden nutrients every 2 weeks for Tiny Tim tomatoes. I refill water every 4-5 days once the plants are established.

[@supernaturalbc2008]

Wow! Thanks for showing what's possible! I have been considering tiny Tim for my Aerogarden. Did you happen to count your tomatoes as you harvested? If you get an average weight of 10 you can get an idea of the production relative to cost.

[@dorisrorick2324]

You can make refrigerator pickled cherry tomatoes. Poke a few holes on each tomato. This way, you preserve some for a little while longer.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That's good to know. Thanks.

[@rainerrain9689]

What to we add to it , vinegar ?

[@angeredsmile2]

I am growing mine and getting lots of tomatoes, i've found that my plant is sensitive to messing with, it doesn't like me to bend or mess with it branches

[@ctall9956]

In your initial video, they were staying under the lights. Were you pruning them back to make sure that was the case?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I haven't pruned them in the first 5-6 months. Most of the plant was naturally staying under 1 foot. I started trimming a few branches later on.

[@considerthebirds]

Amazing! I really appreciate your videos, I’m excited to try growing these and Everglades tomatoes. Do you use specific nutrients for tomatoes or just maxi-gro?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I use just the Aerogarden nutrients for all cherry tomato varieties. I never used MaxiGro for tomatoes, but I am currently experimenting with MaxiGro on cherry tomatoes. So far, so good.

[@thedirtywoodsman604]

About Day 45-50 for my first four Tiny Tims. First time growing them indoors and wow are they dense! If they produce half as well as yours I'll consider it a success. Great video! Cheers.

[@diranu605]

Do you cut your roots periodically? And, how easy is it to do a water change with such large plants?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I don't cut the roots explicitely. But I clean the gardens every two months. As I am cleaning the plants, I am forced remove some roots around the water sensor, pump, etc. I try not to touch the larger plants. But if I had to, I lift and place the grow deck in a temporary bowl, take and clean the aerogarden bowl, and swap the bowls back.

[@bikinggal1]

I am growing Cherry tomatoes on mine. Things grew fast, flowers came fast but most dropped off. Im in my harvesting finally but two plants are producing very little. Seems to me that 3 months of power for a handful of tomatoes isn't really economical. Perhaps when a tomato cost $5 a piece...I will keep it up! Thanks for your video

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Looks like the flowers are not being pollinated. Normally, cherry tomato flowers can take care of themselves. But we can always give a helping hand additionally by gently shaking the plants.

[@antandshell]

Hi! Question please.... Is there any difference in taste from using maxi grow vs aerogarden nutrition?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I never used Maxi Gro for tomatoes, but I noticed a great taste in Cilantro.

[@joopikk]

So when you give up on the plants, you mean you trash all the plants (not relocate?) and start over? How many tomatoes do you think you got in 8 months?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yes, I trash the plants and start over with either seeds or some young cuttings from the existing plants. I got about 50 tomatoes per plant from each crop.

This look amazing, what is the name of this variety ?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Tiny Tim tomatoes. migardener.com/products/tiny-tim-tomato

[@raghavnitie]

Nice video. Can you tell me where you got the Tiny Tim seeds from? If possible, please post a link

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Of course. Here is the link - migardener.com/products/tinytimtomato

[@spc379]

how often did you feed nutrients?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Initially I was feeding only on the feeding schedule i.e. every 14 days. As the plants grow big and started drinking lots of water, I started adding additional 2-3 ml of nutrients with every refill.

[@mohammadalakeel9795]

Do you think you need a fan for growing lettuce or anything in aerogarden?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I don't use the fan normally on any Aerogarden. I have Aerogardens in my living and dining rooms, and temperatures between 60 and 65. I temporarily use fan if I suspect anything like edema on leaves, etc. which I had only twice in last 3 years and I had use fan for a week or so. But if the temperature is high, like 70+, in your growing area, then a small fan helps the crops like lettuce, Spinach, cilantro, etc.

[@punkspeed1850]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Lmartin253]

How often do you change the water and clean

[@aerogardenexperiments]

10-12 weeks.

[@joanneturner2224]

What nutrients did you use? How much? How often?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

It's just the Aerogarden nutrients and I used as recommended I.e. 8ml every 14 days.

[@darlenetalley9928]

Do you change the water and start the nutrients all over again?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, I change water every 6-8 weeks and start with fresh water and nutrients.

[@zarinth]

Aerogarden Bounty seems better for Tiny Tim.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Bounty is definitely better but Harvest works well enough.

[@cheyenneallen4901]

Are cherry tomatoes taste bitter like beef stake tomatoes

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I never had any bitter taste with any of the cherry tomatoes that I have grown so far.

[@Dawnfinn03]

The Tomato things grow think I wanna put three in there I made a mistake hopefully you do better than me

[@Caitybear396]

Hey I haven't seen a review video yet on your sunhy hydroponic system.. how good does it grow plants compared to the harvest??? And are aerogarden sponges compatible with it??

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That's pretty bad system. Pretty bad performance. Plants never grown more than 3 inches. I am still checking if anything works well in Sunhy. I will keep you posted but so far I don't recommend it.

[@charlesl21]

Learn about “sucker branches “. Cut these off first.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

As far as I see, there are no suckers on any of the micro dwarf tomato varieties.

[@thornsohnmadsen9875]

You need to clean your kitchen before next time
