I've no idea about LV temps, I always thought its hot or warm there. If you night are chilly just put gallons of jugs inside, close to the plants and they will heat up during daytime sun, and keep plants ok during night. I have dozens of jugs around the inside perimeter and they do help. Wondering about legend tomatoes? Hmm.. Would love to try them...

how cold are your nights? Freezing temps will wipe them out unless you put a heat source like a flood light inside. If freezing temps can be avoided, or they are short in length, like a few hours in the am, then you might just get a crop. Humidity helps keep the temp higher inside also.

I don't know nothing about the LV area, is the temps going below 50 at anytime? otherwise I have to agree with the other 2 comments posted 9 nov 14 about this question,, sorry I couldn't be of more help

So far it seems to be! I have only had it since last summer. It lived on the deck in it's original pot until around October. From what I have read it can be outside in temps as low as 15F at night so watch the weather. For the winter I moved it into an unheated garage. It looked like a little twig all winter but perked right up when I put it outside in the spring! No fruit so far but we'll see.

I live in the RGV of Texas. I only have a home garden but am planning to attempt to gropw a little in a bucket this fall. Not even corn in the fields is growing well with the heat we have had this summer. Last winter was cold. I'll let you know.

Tomato Tone will not burn potted tomato plant so would be safe and effective in either application.I have used in both ways.

Sorry, I have never grown tomatoes or any other type of plant so I wouldn't know if this type of lighting would work for that purpose.

I'm not sure yet . . . we are in Mesquite, NV and haven't had the really hot weather yet. Sorry I can't help.

Haven't used it for that but I would think it could. It is sharp and powerful. No problem for tomatoes .

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

Yes, if you want the best results it needs a lot of sun but that means you have to water it more too. It is hot in FL, a lot of sun = a lot of watering. You should also feed it (Tomato or veggie food) every 7-14 days for better results. I took off the top for easier watering purposes. The plastic top is more for cosmetics. Buy one to see how you like it, if you like it buy additional Topsy.

I bet they would do amazing there. Here is a link from the ministry of food production of Trinidad and Tobago for details in this particular climatehttp://www.agriculture.gov.tt/hints-and-tips/fruits-and-vegetables/how-to-grow-tomatoes.htmlJust remember that tomato seeds take quite a while to grow into full plants, but with a little patience I imagine they would do great there. Good Luck!

I have grape tomato plants this time but have used beef steak and several others in the past. I put 2 4 inch plants in the topsy turvey this time. I water them every day for the first week and then every other day or so after that. Mine is hanging under my deck a little bit. It gets the afternoon sun and they really don't get much when it rains. I try and watch and every so often I remove the top and check soil and add more if it needs it. I just love doing it this way.

I never took a direct temperature. They were advertised as being 10 r so degrees above room temperate and that sounded about right. I was amazed with germination from all the various tomato seeds in 4 days. I have no idea where you need the thermostat but trying it without one first could save you money

I live in NY and it is FLOUISHING!!!!!! I can't see how it would not thrive in NV!!! It grows fast so don't be disappointed if what you get "Seems" small, it wont be for long!!!!! I have had mine 6-7 months and its 4-5 feet tall already AND has to winter indoors with grow lights.... Go for it, you'll love it!!!PS Martha, should you need her (doubtful) is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!! Five stars!!!!!

It works for me, when mixed with manure asI planted tomatoes. It didn't harm them and they grew great until we got visited with five days of frost!!

Keep squirrels out? YesKeep heat in? YesRemember this product is essentially a Hot House designed for winter use. I would caution leaving it zipped up on hot summer days in the full sun. Your tomato plants will become heat stressed.
