How many tomato plants can it hold? Specifically indeterminate which are supposed to be 5+ feet tall. Will it work?

I haven't used mine for tomatoes, however I have mint, 2 basil plants, 2 types of thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley and cilantro in one container. The other one has lots of kale and butter lettuce. As you long as you stake them properly, I'd guess 10 -12 nice size plants. Love these containers.

yes, should hold about 4 of them. it would be great for tomatoes... deep enough for a 5ft plant.

I think with cages, probably 3. I am using it for the first time this year. Planted lettuce, herbs, 1 tomato, pepper, spinach.

Depends on how large your containers are. Easily holds two 5gal circular Home Depot buckets. I wouldn't put in a third tho (because I scrog). Also ran three 10 liter buckets no problem. If you grow SOG and in square containers you could fit at least 6, but I wouldnt. Stick with 2 - 3 plants and you'll be good.

The largest size is 50 inches diameter. I would guess 3 plants would have plenty of room to grow. Thinking each plant would eventually be about 20-24 inches wide.

I have 2 larger pots (7" x 8 " high) in the top section. The lower shelf handles 3 medium pots (about 6" ) but since there's a "ceiling" above the plants, they can't be more than 12" total, including the growing plant. All need saucers under, if you don't want water to leak onto a floor !

I don't think it's big enough to grow tomatoes--I think a large round pot would work better for tomatoes.

I have the original size, 50 inches wide x 12 inches tall, providing 13.5 square feet of growing area. That handled 4 tomato plants.

Aerogrow recommends 3 tomato plants in the 7 pod. We grew 3 tomato plants in the 7 pod; the bush fills it very nicely and the rots definitely fill the base. Due to our error 2 of the plants died at about 1 year. We were able to save the third and it grew to fill the whole space and the roots filled the base. It lasted about 1.5 years. Good luck!

I'm not sure but they are pretty sturdy. I thought maybe in the "detail" of the description it might tell you. I have a plant in a planter that is about 14" tall and it seems fine. Another plant is in a clay planter that is about 12" tall and no problem. I really like the product.

You can do 3 but I only did 2 sweet 100 = about 3000 tomatoes. Yes we count them ! I also planted 4 eggplant, next year I will do 3 as I thought they needed a little more room. Also did 3 Bell Peppers. A very bountiful harvest.

It could be but would only be good for 1 big plant or a couple small ones. Its only about the circumfrance of a 5gallon bucket but squared

Well it said this light system would grow up to 10 plants but I'm not sure bout that . I tried 10 but it's pushing it . I've went down to 6 now so 6 to 8 should be ok

Sollie, I use mine only for tomatoes. It will hold 7 or 8 medium size tomatoes plus about 20 or more grape tomatoes scattered across the tray (on top of and around the medium tomatoes). I hope this helps. Sharon

It's a wonderful, good-looking plant holder... that's why I bought a second one earlier this year! Each of the three holders is about a foot across. While it looks pretty sturdy, my advice would be to place a fairly heavy plant on the bottom holder for safety's sake as the bottom support legs do not spread out all that wide. That allows you to place a large plant at the top, which is what I have done on both of mine. A number of friends have commented favorably on our planters and have asked for the name of the manufacturer. Hope this is useful.

I don't think I'll do what you want it to. I use mine to start seedlings (peppers, lettuce, zucchini) and keep the light about a foot or two above lants. From that distance it only throws enough light to fill the area for about a 2' in diameter. You MIGHT be able to grow one or two pepper plants but not tomatoes (my opinion). You'll be better suited with something like 4' t-5 lighting fixture. I use the t-5 fixture to help a miniature orange tree (about the same size as a full grown tomato plant) during the short days of our northern winters

It depends on the plant. It comes with a chart. For example you can do two tomato plants or 10 bean plants.You could plant more smaller plants such as herbs, etc.

There was plenty of space for starting plants. Mine is back in storage, but as I recall it had about 13" between the shelves except the top one which has about 20 in the middle and about 14" on the sides. I was very pleased with this product. However, for best results you will have to do some additional staking or put it in a sheltered location. It is lightweight the wind will blow it over. I put mine against the west side of the house and use additional staking. Also, it gets very hot inside on sunny days and must be unzipped to prevent overheating.

the planter has seven ports, which can each hold up to two plants. I did not fill every port, so the answer is 1 to 14! BTW my peppers are growing like crazy, each time I pick one there are two more half grown the next day! I love this planter.
