Hi there, this is my first post here, so I hope I am posting this querie in the right place...
I had to bring in some of my tomatoes, after overenthusiastically planting them out into large pots on the patio during the warm and sunny April weather that we had. Sure enough the weather turned the next day (strong winds that almost devastated the lot and very cold) and I had to bring them in.
They are too big for the window sill so they are sitting underneath the window on the floor.. They are 40 cms tall and very spindly.
We have had very little sunshine here (Edinburgh) lately and I can see that the tomatoes are not happy.
I have one of those SAD-lamps (to help humans through the dark months) - and I have used that to give the tomatoes a bit of light. Very likely to be the wrong light spectrum, am I right? Has anyone any idea if using a SAD light on plants works...?
I am just hoping for better weather, but it doesn't look like it...
Thanks for any tips on keeping them happy... I am not very experienced at tomatoe growing outdoors (which is what I'm trying to do - otherwise I wouldn't have used these huge pots..).
