Starting heirloom tomato seeds in montana

john.barnesjr · July 29, 2011

I just started some heirloom tomato plants under my t5 grow light and they are doing great. I also got a hid grow light to grow the tomatoes indoors because the summers here in montana is very short for most tomato varieties, and the winters can be very harsh. I decided that growing tomato plants indoors is the way to go. I will get some pictures posted as the plants get larger, the tomatoes I'm growing are nebraska wedding, black sea man a russian heirloom, and early bush beefsteak I also plan to grow the brandywine heirlooms this winter.

I have heard "$5 tomates" on an indoor growing forum from someone
that knew what he was doing. His evaluation was that it was expensive
but still better than grocery store tomatoes. You do have to watch out
for mold forming in the walls from all of the moisture inside a grow
room in winter (good ventilation is vital).
