It's growing in my front window of my house it doesn't get any artificial light just what comes in the window here I took a picture. Had to put a cage around the bottom so my cat doesn't eat it and die. This is my Super Sweet 100 Hybrid Tomato.

Sweet have you got her under a lot of light, what type are you growing under?

You say she is "supposed" to be a Dwarf type, has she grown into a huge vine or have you not long started and are waiting to see how she grows?

experimenting is the fun part of growing. but with a good spectrum plants need a lot less light. along with my medicine i'm also growing some trees from seed ( quaking aspen and blue cedar) that I will transplant out to my yard after the late may freeze.with my T5s plant growth will slow dramatically if I get my light too close

Yes very sweet tomatoes, they are great for salads and it is an epic producer I get enough for a 4 person family from that one plant. As to your question about cats , it can make them very sick and possibly die.

"Tomatoes and tomato plants: Tomatoes of all kinds are toxic to cats, as are parts of the tomato plant. Ingesting as little as a cherry tomato can cause severe gastrointestinal upset.".

How is this even a debate though to be honest, quantity of light is way more important than quality of light.

The question you are getting at is how important is the quality of light. I think its pretty indisputable that more light = more plant.

Quality of lights effect can certainly be debatable.

Nice!

~400umoles is where plant light absorption maxes out. That could explain why both the led tests were within error of each other

Uniformity over area is going to be the next craze I predict.

You must have a big bull around.

This test was done by schoolkids? Like yourself? Or only in your "mind"?

Go find some actual research on the matter.

My first thought was - man those are some rough looking tomato's lol
Would be nice to see the whole plant and overall health as well.
The problem with tomato's is that you don't automatically get a fruit set at every node like cannabis. Flower clusters seem less predictable and also rely on pollination to make a fruit.
I too play with tomato's indoors. They share my veg garden

Do your leaves look like this?

Somewhere we were talking about bending tomato stems around - here is my Husky Cherry Red tomato as of tonight.
Said to be Dwarf Indeterminate vine up to 36", we will see.
I'm trying to give her the commercial greenhouse pruning approach keeping the suckers removed
She is catching side light from a 600W Horti Blue MH and has 2 100W Hydrofarm mini sunbursts above her with phillips cmh lamps (thats the shitty mag ballast squiggle)

Curious to know how many tests you have actually ran yourself???... certainly makes me wonder when you come up with answers like this!

Seems in my absence it has already taken off lol... and yeah it is not simply about blasting the plant with light, although I am sure shugglet will no doubt disagree whilst simultaeneously failing to consider the limiting factors like Co2 for instance!
