I dunno, the TTF label says to.
I'm not an genius, but I can follow directions.

You raise an interesting point though; perhaps I should let the nutrient (and salts) level get jacked up a bit on these plants. It may blast them with the stuff they need to grow as if they were in the ground. Maybe flush with water every two or three weeks, or not at all. See what happens.

I'm hoping some one will tell me what I'm doing wrong. Do others get tomatoes high up on tall vines in containers?

I'm probably doing something stupid.

I have never read the TTF instructions nor do I have any or use the stuff.

Seems to me if they are doing fine I wouldn't flush them.
I dont flush the tubs I am growing in and they only have a sight tube for drainage.
