Seeding Trays
-
When hydroponic tomatoes are initially planted they should be placed in seedling trays that contain a soilless product (such as peat or perlite) and watered daily. After watering the first time, a layer of vermiculite should be spread on top of the peat or perlite to help retain moisture in the seedling trays.
Growing Blocks
-
Roughly two weeks after the tomatoes have been seeded, they should be transplanted to growing blocks or small pots. The extra room will allow the plant to produce a strong root system.
Final Planting
-
Hydroponic tomato plants can mature to a height of up to 40 feet and 20 to 30 lbs. Even though they can grow quite large, this plant only requires 2 square feet of space to grow. The final pot should allow for this amount of space.
