Hi Affnan.. of all my tomatoes..i only managed to harvest 5 odd cherry tomatoes from my system. The plant produces a lot of flowers but none turned into fruits.. Only there was one weekend after i got back from hometown i saw 5 flowers turned to fruit.. Other flowers did not get polinated.. even after i gave it a good shake... i also saw a couple of butterflies around my system.. but still no fruits.. So i gave up and simply tookout all 7 of my cherry tomato plant from my system.. Appreciate if you can give some advice or tips on this... TIA!!

I did cherry tomatoes, and produce more than I can use. How long your system been running because Tomatoes like any fruiting vegetable need growbed that is fully matured and lots of nutrient. This was my experience : Here

I had similar problem as daeng. Plenty of flowers but very few fruits. Over a period of 1 year, with 4 plants, I only managed to harvest about 15 cherry tomatoes. I consoled myself by thinking 'at least they take up all the nitrates!'. I did hand pollination as well but still such poor results.
