When I started out, I bought seedlings from the local nursery and plant these into my AP system.

I then built a small DWC hydro system to grow seedlings for transplant into my AP system. The plants do seem to take a while to adjust. After about two weeks, I noticed new growth on the rocket, lettuce and spinach this morning, but the tomatoes, does not seem to take, after about ten days. The seedlings that stay behind in dei DWC system have grown to about twice the size.

I keep my pH between 6.5 and 7.2, I see no signs of deficiencies (yellow leaves etc). Did I cause the toms to stress, or am I being too impatient?

Good question - I'm interested to hear what others say.

I have some GB's performing better than others with tomatoes. Maybe its PH related and some solids in the GB ?
