That bucket nursery was a great idea.

The Brandywine bucket nursery is working real nice, white inside for reflection, keeps in heat and humidity and I have spacer rings to keep making it taller if required. Then off to my SIP buckets. cheers......

The light going through the plastic makes it look real cool. If you want larger plant cuttings you should look into air layering. Thank you for the pics.

Cool, how long are your lights on? I keep mine on 12-18 hours depending on if there are fish nearby.

I just have the lights on for 14 hrs right now....and only have 2 - 13 watt CFLs 6500k in the bucket right now, but seems to work good in the close space....the 23 watt CFL's would add some higher temperatures.....

That is so cool looking. I have a mutant plant that reminds me of that. You should look into air layering. An easy way is to turn a plastic bottle into a planter and wrap it around one of those large suckers. You could get a large healthy plant in a few weeks.

Thanks, I don't use reflectors much so I have more powerful bulbs.

Kind of stressing out, just got back home from work and noticed the top leaves are spotted and a bit dry....gave them some Cal Mag to see if that perks them up.....

Hopefully the Calmag will be the pick up that the plant needs. If not, post a picture of the plant in natrual light so that we can better see just what is what with your plant.

Righand your plant is showing signs of Magnesium deficiency and/or Potassium deficiency. Both of these cause the yellowing of the leaves between the veins. Potassium deficiency also causes they dry brittle edges on the leaves. I would water them with Epsom salts, 1 tablespoon to the gallon and a good dose of a high potassium fertilizer.
Look here for the symptoms http://www.haifa-group.com/files/Gui...ato/Tomato.pdf
