TFF Fertilizer question in container... Is is too soon?

Yeah, I hadn't heard of the eartainers, or many of these methods until I found TV, but it's amazing what people can grow if they try. I find the urban SFG stuff really interesting, and the size and diversity of tomatoes grown in buckets is unreal!

I feel about 1,000% better about my water trough experiments, though admittedly far from ideal, than I did before I started reading through the forum. In my first post I asked if it was possible that the plants would even grow, but now I'm just wondering how big they will get

Again, I appreciate all the encouragement and advice I've been receiving, and hope to hear even more opinions, criticisms or suggestions on my "experiment". I also hope to start contributing what little I do know as well. This forum is addictive...

BTW, this is way off thread topic, but if you like zucchini blossoms, I posted some pics of some I made last year over in that part of the forum. I think the blossoms are the main reason I am going to attempt a zucchini in water trough experiment #2. So I can grab them quickly when they are nice and fresh. I've got to stop talking about those blossoms, this is totally making me hungry!
