- Come on with me, Chef Mikey and I'll show the best stage to harvest your tomato's. I'll explain why, and I'll show you my creative system for creating climate controlled storage using a grow tent which I already had on hand.

So cool how you give the tips for everyone throughout the video
Thanks Heber! Wait till I show them how mycogasm saved the tomatoes!
@@chefsharvestfarmWhat exactly is mycogasm? thank you.
Coolbot for temp control
A coolbot doesn’t work on a portable AC unit. They only work for window AC units or mini split. But I do use one for my coolbot trailer. The point is that I’m using what I already have on hand for temporary cool storage. I did not need to spend any money for this set up. The additional cost of an additional coolbot set up would not be justifiable for the revenue. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Very useful info. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 👊
Chef Mikey with another great informative video. Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏
Hi saw this on my homepage and came to look, liked and made a new friend connection. Love your garden and being a novice myself i hope to learn a lot here☺♥
Thanks Anne! 🙏 happy you found us 🙏
Hey Mikey, LInda Hammontree watched your great video. You are amazing gardener. Great tomato advice. Jeannie has a commercial fresh flower farm in Oregon and lives on a 40 acre farm with farming irrigation. top operation!
Thanks Linda! I have seen Jeannie on facebook! So cool! Nice to hear from you 🙏 Thanks for watching!
That looks like a weed tent, lol. Thank you for all the advice and for the video. Appreciate all the work that you put into everything.
@@annabodhi38 it is! I’m a licensed cannabis grower 😁 but I’ve found many uses for it while not in use for growing! I appreciate you, for watching and commenting! Thanks friend 🙏
@@chefsharvestfarm xx
@@annabodhi38 thanks 🙏
you can put the air conditioning unit outside the tent and vent the cool air output into the tent through one of the side vents in the tent, itll allow you to get the tent cooler, you might have to do a bit of creative ducting though.
It’s been working perfectly as is! No changes are necessary. Thanks for watching.
Quality content as always brother!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you 🙌
What's your thoughts on the metal halide for ripening vs LED or HPS🤣. Excellent use of equipment during the main season brother. AC infinity makes a portable ac/humid combo might be better suited for your tomatoes. The unit goes outside the tent as well so that means more storage space.
@@M.O.420 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve only used LED’s. Love AC Infinity products! I have seen that AC/humidifier combo. Definitely pretty cool! Just trying to make things happen with what I already have on hand for now. Thanks for watching and commenting! I really do appreciate it 🙏
@@chefsharvestfarm ofc, thank you for sharing, its inspiring. Completely get using what you got, there is no better way. Keep it growing
You're always knocking out some good content, bud. Keep it coming it's awesome
Thanks Matthew! I appreciate your support 🙏
@@chefsharvestfarm what do you use for fertilizer
@@matthewbrown8579 all my fertility on my tomatoes comes from my compost. But not all compost is created equal. I use a manure based mushroom compost that is very high in nitrogen and phosphorus. If I do need additional fertility I use the neversink blend which I purchase from seven springs farm supply in Virginia.
@chefsharvestfarm sweet! Really appreciate a bit of your knowledge
@@matthewbrown8579 anytime!
Tomatoes looks great 🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏
Love love love your channel! We're not too far from you, in Cocke County. I would love to know how you started gardening and how I can learn to grow like a "market gardener" on a small scale!
Thank you! 🙏 I started gardening in 2017 with one little raised bed garden. Thanks for following along 🙏
How many inches of water is that daily 45-minute drip?
@@andrewcampbell7011 the drip emitter’s are .25 gallons per hour.
Love the videos man keep it up! I’m learning so much ! I unfortunately live in an apartment and don’t have any land but im starting a planter box indoors to start learning the basics! Can’t wait for the next video man!!
@@EskimoCowboy thanks so much 🙏 the first tomato plant I ever grew I was living in an apartment. I took that tomato plant out to my parking space every day while I was at work and brought it in every night! And I got 1 tomato 🤣🤣 but it was enough to get me hooked! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it and hope to continue giving you valuable content 🙌
@@chefsharvestfarmI’m planing on getting a small tent for me and my son to start learning together. I really just love and respect what you are doing and I think more people should turn to someone like you for their produce 100% see you in the next one
@@EskimoCowboy thanks pal 🙏 grow tents are so much fun!
@@chefsharvestfarmthey definitely make it alil more convenient for those who can’t do what you’re doing. Also when you making a video on the Hemp and how you cultivate/harvest/and process the hemp I know there’s a few of us curious on how that is, they look beautiful by the way.
@@EskimoCowboy I have tons of content on cannabis recorded. Honestly some really cool stuff! I grew 40 plants last year that were all 15 feet tall 🤣 but I’m scared to post it… I need to get some solid answers about what’s allowed on CZcams and what’s not. I may just start a separate channel for cannabis. This channel really means a lot to me and I don’t want to mess it up.
Tomatoes that aren't vine ripened taste the best. This is why supermarket produce is superior to fresh vine ripened produce.
@@Ac1dMonk I’ve been making it a point to taste every stage of ripeness possible! It’s interesting for sure!
Hello chef! Do you find that the AC unit pulls moisture out of the tomato and does that cause problems with the fruit?
It’s definitely a concern. But no issues yet. But could always put a humidifier in there if needed. It’s also pulling humidity into the room with the air intake. But no… so far no problems! Great question though! And yes, I’m definitely monitoring for it! Thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it 🙏
@@chefsharvestfarm I have an old 3 door Hussmann flower fridge that I’m rebuilding for my vegetable cold storage. A flower fridge is different than a regular refrigerator in that the humidity that condenses out on the evaporator is re-introduced back into the refrigerated case to maintain high relative humidity (and therefore not dry out the flowers stored inside). Maybe you could go that route in the future when funds allow it. If I was living near you I would come over and help with your refrigerated storage. 😁
@@FireandFrostHVAC heck yeah 👍 after my career as a Chef. I worked at Katom Restaurant Supply in sales. Basically selling commercial refrigeration and equipment. So I am very familiar with the types of refrigeration you’re referring to. I guess the point of this set up is that it was already here. All I did was swap out the AC unit for a dehumidifier to serve a temporary purpose. And at the end of summer it will be converted back into an indoor grow. So just always trying to make multi purpose use of things I already have on hand. This is all in the basement of my home so space is tight. But I do also have a refrigerated trailer for cold storage. But also run off an AC unit with a coolbot control. Hussmans are good! That’s what’s in most grocery stores! Best of luck with it! And thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
they look good but i don't think they taste that good.
@@Johnnysaintrizz thanks 🙏
