I dump a 5 gallon bucket of the Hydro-Garden Tomato formula plus cal nitrate and Mag sulfate every 2-4 days onto the surface.
Green fruit sized up but not blushing yet, so looks like will be about 90 days from seed to harvest if they ripen next week.
The plant in my tunnel (not pictured) has fruit ripening but they split before fully ripe. They don't seem to be able to handle bag culture with daily feed/water when the days are getting over 90.
I expect this outdoor plant not to split.

Mine split in my conditions sometimes too, I always suggest folks pick at blush and leave inside to ripen, then no splitting.
