growing dwarf tomatoes .

12 years ago

So I will be growing dwarf tomatoes, I live in hawaii so we get the luxury of growing all year round. Now I know their are a verity of dwarf tomatoes to choose from but at the moment I have patio princess, and red robbin both from what I understand are cherry tomatoes.

Question 1) I will be geowing in 1 gallon pots. Is this ok?
Question 2) what do you recommend for fertilizer?

And any suggestions would be fantastic considering this is my first dwarf tomato grow.

1 gallon pots should be fine. I would fertilize with something like Tomato-tone.

Can I grow these under 6500k lights? More specifically it would be with the hydrofarm jump start grow light.

Is this at all possible?
