[pop22]

I've been growing them in my raised beds, but the last two years I've had tomato blight. Grenhouse tomatoes were unaffected, so all will be potted thise year

Well I hope you get a good season and crop mine just sit in the Window sills this is latest pic they going well
The blue dragons are they your own cross ? I remember I started to watch a thread about them but hell if I can find it again

Looking good!

The Blue Dragon is my own cross, Blueberry Headband x Durrty Dragon, now at F6 next gen will be IBL ( Inbred line ) mostly meaning they should be about homogeneous. I'll be breeding for more seed soon. This will be the first time I've grown them in a raised bed. Hope they get big lol!

Transplanted the last 5 tomaotes into 3 and 5 gallon pots. Most will stay in one of the greenhouses, prbably the small one once the seedlings are gone.

I glad you mentioned ". I hope they get big" so I am just starting to think about breeding and making some crosses,
Now the only way I will be able to do this is to use solo cups, now what I am wondering is when you select from a solo cup will you perhaps be also selecting for a smaller plant unintentionaly ,, I hope that makes some sense.
I have a few pictures of a male I selected hope you don't mind me posting it here and have your thoughts about it

I selected him as he showed sex fast ,, had a nice smell, was the most healthy and vigerous out of the males that came up, was a nice balanced shape ,he didn't mind being in a solo cup so the above question relates to this am I unintentionally selecting for producing solo cup sized plants

I'm no expert but I don't think so. All you're doing in a solo is restricting roots making the plant stunted in purpose. So it can only get as big as the roots will allow it. I'm sure if that Male was in a bigger pot it would have a different shape

I breed mostly in small pots. I take the fastest male (s) and the largest females. In early generations, even in small pots, there are lots of variation starting with the second generation
