Thank you guys for joining in the fun and attempting the challenge! I had fun trying but failed.lol.
So now it's almost time to post how you did. Wether you decide to pick and weigh your fruit,or let them grow on. But to get a ribbon,just post an on scale pic in your diary or email me a pic.
The 20th is the true end.
This is were I need your guy's help. So far it looks like biscuitridge has first place with 2.2lbs, and Qtip ( he called himself the ultimate underdog , not in them words.lol,) in second with 12.8 oz. I could of missed a lot.I haven't been on BP nearly often as I should. Sorry about that. So could you guys help me fill in anything I might of missed. And feel free to chop some fruit on the 20th to see who is the TRUE indoor master for this winter challenge!
Great job to all!

I just picked my next to the last tomato and it weighed 3.4 1/4 lbs. I posted a picture in my diary, it should be up soon. My last one has just started to blush I'll probably pick it on the 20th. They were bother just double blossoms, the big blooms didn't come until it was to late to let them set, so I just removed them. It's been a lot of fun.

So biscuit .looks like 1st is in the bag,are you still going to pick that last fruit by the end of the 20th? No need if you think it could gain more weight. Always a silent contender could jump in,but I think we would of heard by now. Great job man

Yes I plan on picking it today, I don't believe that it will gain much more,it looks to be about 25% ripe from what I can see of it,it's kinda buried in the foliage. It is larger circ.but we'll see if the shape is good or not.

Just picked the last tomato, it weighed 3.11 lbs. I think it's very possible to grow a record tomato indoors, my setup was far from ideal,and yet grew some nice ones even though they were only double blooms.thank everyone for the interesting grow,and porkchop for your generosity ,and canton for your part in starting this whole challenge and the ribbons too.

congratulations to the winners...great job. Thanks catond for starting this. Made my winter so much more enjoyable. I know i gained knowledge from the experience. Hopefully next year there will be another competition. I might even practice this summer with an indoor tomato to get better. Any southern hemisphere tomato growers want to start a summer indoor challenge?
