I grew a 4x4 hydroponic garden in Seattle growing cherry tomatoes under a 400w hps bulb. It was awesome had a bumper crop until some of the tomatoes fell to the ground and I had a crazy fruit fly infestation. Good times
- j-rom 4y agoDid you have any issues with fruit flies in general or only when the tomatoes fell?
- rdtwo 4y agoOnce the fruit ripens then you start to have problems. Cherry tomatoes were problematic in general besides there were too many and they fall off and stuff. I also wasn’t as careful as I should have been pruning so that created pockets for Things to fall into. Honestly if you have a balcony with good exposure just build an earthtainer or 2 it’s a lot easier and grows fine in Seattle. Also hallide lamps are amazing during SAD season just make sure your lease does not specify max light bulb wattage
