      I've spotted at least 5 so far, not quite as big as a ping pong ball yet. I think they're all on the Better Bush plants, I haven't spotted any on the Defiance plants yet, though there are lots of blooms on it. (But it is a slower tomato, though it was transplanted several weeks earlier than the Better Bush.)

      Based on some net research, I've started shaking the plants at least once a day, that may have been what it took to shake loose some pollen. πŸ˜€

      The photo looks strange because the red/blue lights were on.

        Congratulations! I never thought about pollination of hydroponic tomatoes. You don't have to take a little brush and go from flower to flower to pollinate?
