My winter indoor hydroponic/late crop grow log.

I read that tomatoes wont set fruit if the temperatures exceed 86 degrees F.
Is this true?

I do not know I am quite the tomato Noob still. I did work at the CSU research center dealing with cloning and propagating potatoes though so If you have potato questions I have that covered.

We grew them down south just fine in temps well over 86. Egg shells are also good for them (can't remember why has to be something about calcium)

I tried the hydroponics one summer with strawberries and melons, never did get fruit, had it outdoors and it ended up with a huge root ball in the tub think that may have been the problem.

Nope, most tomatos are fine with heat. We used to harvest massive amounts of tomatos in southern AZ where the summer temps avg well over 100deg.

The key is growing varieties that are designed for the climate you are in.

I am loving this thread. Keep the updates coming!
