April 10, 2015 = Day 14. Plants installed outside in 32-gallon buckets. Hydroponic solution composed of 32 gal tap water, 64 g MasterBlend 4-18-38, 64 g calcium nitrate, 32 g magnesium sulfate, 6.4 mL Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt, 25 mL pH Down. N-P-K (in ppm): 103-41-168. pH = 6.5.


Jul 4, 2015 = Day 99. Began harvesting tomatoes.
Big harvests continued until around mid-August (day 120-130), when production of tomatoes slowed down. The buckets got light a few times, indicating low fluid level, so I had to add 5 gallons several times. Plants were discarded at the end of August, due to lack of new tomatoes. Total water usage per plant = 50 gallons.
