Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I have 2-3 plants going crazy and i have cherry toms everywhere but none of them are turning red. Anyone know why that would be?

How long have they been full-sized Zman?

Probably a week if not 2. I have removed most of my trout recently so could it be lack of nutrients?

Tomatoes need some warm nights to ripen, so they will get there. Patience zman

Yep patience...... They often form quickly but take a while to turn red.

Yep, its all about average temps, even if days are hot but nites cold the fruit wont go red

Time is the key

Turn off. The. Water to the plants. And. They will ripen. To much. Water. In the root. Zone causes. The tomatoes not to ripen

I have red tomatos

Did they get like that all by themselves Zman, or do you have a secret method to share?

I just like them all by themselves faye, quick wash and down the gob

I meant did they ripen by themselves The title thread is cherry tomatoes going crazy but not turning red lol!

OH haha i just left it as it was.

I did however prune off all the "leaves" on the tomato plants which has caused them to ripen. I only have 5 fish feeding 5-6 hungry tomato plants so i think pruning all the useless leaves helped them alot.

Hmmm.....think you will find higher average temperatures did the job....
