These were the 6.25's I grew at my moms house.

Low production, and not big tomatoes. Very healthy plants. It seems less likely that it was a deficiency and more likely that it was excess nitrate. Manganese is very important but I think the excess nitrate was the bigger issue. Not sure I trust these tests entirely. They are not as straightforward as they would seem. For growing normal crops, the normal range is ok but for giants I bet for certain minerals more would be better. Except nirate. Thats just way too many ppm's and I think it messed the fruit up.
