Calling all Tomato growers

[ShuShu]

Hello everyone, Just divided and transplanted my two Cherokee Carbon. Ended up laying them flat and molding them to stand up straight. Soil mix half native half recycled. Growing in 7 gallon pots

Well near time to plant the tomatoes in there in the grow out pots , hoping to get it done on Sunday , Soil is ready , have a good spot picked out at work , When I do the pot up I am going to bury the stems deeper again , more roots more power .

I forgot all about this thread, probably because my tomato's and balcony have suffered with rain and cold so much... but the sun was out the last few days...
All the plants have suffered a bit, the tomato's though dont like the cold and wet very much, but a couple will pull through.
They get almost no direct sun at all behind the balcony wrap. such is life.


the other plants on the same balcony

One of my Cherokee Carbon is showing it's first flower. Super excited. Store maters got nothing on organic fresh off the vine.

The two on the left are Cherokee Carbon. Black Prince is on the right

Well . Transplanted into there final home a week ago , Had one break down one side due to strong winds [ 30 knots ] the day before I planed to stake them , waiting on stakes , I trimmed them and made them nice and secure so wind is

not a problem now , One of the Beef Steak has a nice fat flower forming , I will be keeping a eye on this one , could be the winning one [ size ] All they have had is a bit of molasses and pond water . Last photo is the one that broke in half .

Stupid wind ... Love your criss-cross supports for the broken one

How much/often are you giving them molasses these days... assuming a ~tbsp/gal?

@Mozzy I give them 10 to 15 ml a liter and every 2 to 3 weeks , Then just plain water , no feeding at this stage . should see some good growth coming up as the last 3 weeks we had a lot of cloudy days .

Oh, wow. That's like a quadruple ratio of what I sometimes give the cannabis... I may up my game in the future, thanks
