I see that TNorange has a winter set, on my list...if no other records are set this year..already one is broken-the record amount of growers to have a chance at this time the season. 35 days left...keep them growing and healthy.

I have a Domingo fruit about golf-ball sized and growing slowly. Might hit one pound if I can keep it healthy. I've removed a few others due to BER.

Keep trying beard...34 days to spring. Still have a chance to get a set by the deadline. Remember it doesn't have to be red to count.

I can't seem to get any flowers, probably not enough light in my basement.

what are you using for light source and what temperature are you at.

I got 2 foot long set of t5 lights with 4 bulbs. In addition I have 3 spot grow lights one green, blue and red.
Temp is 70 degrees

I am guessing that they are 24W bulbs. I have done a full grow with one T5 2-foot 8-bulb upstairs.You are 1/2 of that. Do you know the color spectrum of the bulbs. Mine are 6500k which is a great spectrum for vegetation but not the best for flowering. 3000K bulbs are available that will give more red spectrum. I am not famiilar with spot grow lights. I am thinking the green and blue will not help much to get it to flower. The red should. If there is an easy way to increase your temp a bit it might help. Another thing that you could try...change how long your lights are on. Now i run a consistent 15 hours on per day. My plants are always in a different stage of growth, so I can not change for the needs of one. I think you can get it Bob C, I might have to check if my t5 will still function with 4 bulbs removed. I am cheating during winter contests...3300 watts of lighting vs your 100watts. Maybe next year we should handicap.

Well when i grew one plant under a 300 watt halide lamp i had good luck and grew a 1 pound tomato. The following year i grew 4 plants 3 of them had my successfull crosses but the domingo never got a set and the tomatoes were only 6 oz to 9 oz.This year i did six plants and none of my plant could even develope a flower !!! I figured that if i had the tips close enough to the light that it would still work but i was wrong.
