Well, if we really wanted to rub it in, we'd tell you that some of our tomatoes from last year are still producing!

Hey tomato guys and gals, when you start tomatoes from seed, at what point do you start fertilizing them? I started seeds a few weeks ago in a coco coir and pumice mix. I'm new to the whole seed starting thing. They are growing slowly but steadily, on a heat mat and with a hydrofarm jump start light right over them.

Even prior to germination I'm feeding them water-soluble 10-20-30 (or 20-20-20 is ok too). The dosage is 1/6th teaspoon per gallon of water. Just keep the mix around and use it every time you water them.

Historically, after a true set of leaves have formed, I'm using 20-5-30 at 1/3rd teaspoon per gallon -- again, continuous feeding. When the plants reach fruit-bearing size, meaning big enough to hold a crop and perhaps already flowering and setting some fruits -- I will give them a one-time dosage of 10-20-30 or 6-30-30 at 1 tablespoon per gallon of water, then a week or two later resume with 20-5-30.

Then there are the trials I've been documenting: Towards an optimal Tomato food

Note: this is for fruiting annual vegetables in soil. I'll take a different approach with vegetables grown for leaf; e.g., Lettuce and Kale.

Default Re: Tomatoes
Any suggestions on tomato varieties that will set fruit consistently when the nights are cool, like during winter at my place when the night time temps are usually in the 40's - low 50's? Aside from all the normal fungal diseases that plague tomatoes, it isn't hard to keep the plants growing and flowering. Setting fruit seems to be the problem.
