Thanks for all the kind words. This is the third year ive grown grafted tomatoes in this format. I did a side by side season with my go-to heirlooms grafted and ungrafted and recorded yields and such. The results were convincing for a few plants but with some- like the striped german hierloom- the plant becomes too vegetative and the yields are not helped much.
I also re use all my media unless i have a serious problem or insect infestation the run before, so having resistant rootstock helps ensure i'm not asking for disease problems. After the second season, the peat mix is incorporated into outdoor beds to grow other veggies.
Im also just kind of a nerd and like grafting things just to graft them.
For what its worth, I will say in a true hydroponic system which i also have running usually (recirculating, perlite only medium) the grafted vs ungrafted results are slimmer
Always experimenting
