Roma Tomatoes - trellis

The tomato has grown tall enough that it now needs support. A trellis was created out of bamboo stakes and zip-ties.  It was created in a rectangle formation with enough space that the light would go between the stakes.

Here is a view from the front.

Also the light was hung from the above shelf.  This is instead of clamping it to a pole.  This allows me to easily move it up and down.  A orange spring clamp is used to hold the cord.

In addition to support and moving light the plant is now using a couple cups of water a day.  So water addition and ph adjustment is now a daily thing.
