So after several months of scratching my head, wondering why my indoor tomatoes keep loosing their flowers while outside the tomatoes do GREAT....I had not considered pollination with my plants inside.

Does anyone here hand or mechanically pollinate their tomatoes in doors? If so, which method works the best for you?

just use a paint brush
into one flower, twist around lightly, then onto the next
do it maybe 1x a day?
