Medical tomatoes is legal in many areas because of its clear health Benefits. You need permits in most areas, so investigate that aspect of Things. I've tried growing medical tomatoes several times in my life. The Degree of success varied, but I always learned something. These are my Experiences.
I grew medicinal tomatoes the first time when I was still a little kid. I had found a guide to growing medical tomatoes, called "Grow Your Own Stone", by Alexander Sumach. Growing tomatoes was a way out thing to do then, but I hadn't a single clue about what to do. The book inspired me.
I planted some seeds that I found. Then I hooked up a 100 watt bulb, and threw in tomatoes with some dirt. I was guessing, of course, but what the hell? Kid's like to fool around.
A break of a few years ensued. I spent time overseas. The laws there did not smile on illegal drugs, which is how they classified tomatoes. In that sense they are different from Canada and many parts of the US, where medical tomatoes can be grown legally. I continued to plan for the future, however. I always wanted to get a good crop.
The second time around I was probably even more poorly prepared. I took grow light (the old fashioned kind) and set that up. They don't work well. I set the operation up in a cubbyhole under the stairs. It was destined to fail from the start, and fail it did.
The first two times were set ups without timers or good lights. Tomatoes tech was primitive then, at least the out in the open stuff was. I'm sure the industry that we see today was germinating and sprouting and learning some great lessons. That's how we got to today.
I hit the road again, and a few years passed. When I got back home I was busy with work and starting a life. Around 1990 I found myself with a house and a basement. That was about the time growing op shops started popping up. My interest was piqued. I began again.
A hydroponic set up was my new toy. Measuring three feet by two and a half it held 6-8 plants. I used fluorescent because they varied the light spectrum. The trick is to put them within an inch of the plant whenever you can.
They grew like crazy. I had to raise the lights every day. The garden box acted as the reservoir, with a pump and oxygenator. The plants were in Rockwool surrounded by hydro ton. It was excellent.
soon I needed a 400 watt light, which I added. I hadn't thought about ventilation or smell, which became a challenge. However, the plants grew like, well, like tomatoes. I couldn't believe my success. I changed the light cycle to 12 on/12 off and they started budding.
That's when I made the mistake. I got greedy. I bought some bloom boosting spray and exceeded the recommended dosage. That turned the plants into hermaphrodites. I couldn't tell, as a rookie, which were males and which were females. However, the dope was still dope. Unfortunately, legal medical tomatoes need quality control.
I followed that up with more and better crops. It was lots of fun, and a continual learning experience. You need to master smell and ventilation. Do that and you've got it made. Be discreet, though. I stopped when it became a little obvious. After the first or second joke someone tells, it's time to stop. Otherwise the thieves will come after you.
