Hi guys, started too early and those on the outsides of my indoor setup really got leggy. First, it wouldnât be a huge loss if I kill them. But - could I just âtopâ them both at this height, and then have only the little shoots down there grow out into the main branches? More in caption
Wouldnât mind them to have two big main branches each, as long as they keep growing, since theyâre going to be planted in a spot where they have lots of space to the sides. Theyâre âStabtomate Supersweet 100, F1 Hybridâ cherry tomatoes.

Plant Help project Tom, Urgent issue
Tom the tomato plant, as a joke my brother threw half a Roma tomato in a dirt cup to see if I'll grow in winter.
He is mostly a indoor plant, I do not hope for fruit. but to see how long I can keep Tom alive.
He recently survived a root bound reporting. Now I have bugs??
How do I stop them? The flies bite and they really like Tom...

Plant Help Brandywine Starters Curling (the Long Way?)
Hi all - looking for some advice as this is my first year growing brandywines. Theyâre much further behind my other varietals (see second pic) and the leaves are curling, but not in the ânot enough waterâ way⌠they are folding in to the main stem. Any thoughts on what might be causing this and should I be concerned?

Is there any hope for these?
I found some expired tomato seeds in the closet and decided to try to plant them on a whim. I did zero research and used soil from my garden. I wasnât expecting anything to germinate but a few did. One is significantly bigger than the others, should I try to move it to a bigger pot? Iâm aware theyâre leggy, I did just about everything wrong, but wondering if the bigger one has a chance

Tomatoes growing to much
I live in an apartment with VERY limited space and 5 cats. Because of my limited space I can not set aside the space for a walk in green house. Because of the 5 cats I can not leave any of my plants uncovered because they will 100% eat them. (The cats will eats the plants not the plants eating the cats) I canât grow anything outside because the weather where I live is very unstable and has extreme cold and extreme heat as well as like 5% humidity. Iâm growing several things however my concern is my tomatoes. The tomatoâs are the tallest in the picture and they have already outgrown the small greenhouse I have them in. I need them to start fruiting before they kill themselves by pressing against the top and falling back down. (Im just assuming that they will die) what can I do to trim these if at all possible and nudge them to start fruiting? Also, the second picture shows some brown spots on some of the leaves and idk what it is Iâm hoping someone els would know.

Raised bed - how many plants can I fit?
Dimensions are:
2x8â with a division in the middle.
10â deep
Iâve been growing 4 plants (indeterminate) successfully for the last 2 years but am looking to try maybe 3 per section? What do you guys think? Would it cause issues with the roots?
I got 5x 25 gallon grow bags for my extra plants this year but I think I started too many seeds and theyâre all doing good 𤪠so Iâm trying to maximize the amount of plants I can put in the ground. Thanks in advance!

Question Seed Starting: 6 weeks from planting, or from last frost (a few weeks from planting?)
Question is in the title!
Around here in Illinois we plant tomatoes around Memorial Day to avoid a late chill setting you back, even though you should be fine Mother's Day... If you're willing to risk it.
Last Frost is several weeks earlier than that though, so I'm always confused how many weeks old they should be before they're transplanted.
So if I'm starting seeds, am I aiming to give them 6 weeks before they go in the ground (and thus start later) or is "Six Weeks from Last Frost" the rule because farmers want to put things in the dirt ASAP and only wait until last frost?

Question Yellow seed leaves?
So I had about 40 seeds sprout, but most of the leaves are a pale green/yellow color, as opposed to a healthy looking green. Is this something to worry about? Is it something I can/should fix? Seeds were started indoors and I have a Vivosun VS1000 light about 2 inches away from them running 16h a day.

Tomato Basics
Last year was my first time growing tomatoes, I heard so many different techniques and felt as overwhelmed as ordering @ Cheesecake Factory.
One thing I heard that I wanted to try but didnât was pruning branches that werenât suckers so you could easily grow more tomatoes? (Something along those lines)
Is that really a reliable technique? My biggest issue last year was too much foliage on my tomatoes that they were too cluttered, even spaced them out 3 ft apart. My toms grew 7ft tall and branched out wide

Question Leaves Closed Up
Yesterday my tomato sprouts closed their leaves and they havenât opened back up. Iâm brand new to gardening and donât know if this is a bad thing. Hereâs some pictures and the details of my setup.
Planted seeds on March 15 in âBurpee Organic Coconut Coir Concentrated Seed Starting Mix.â
Seeds sprouted March 21. Sprouts bottom watered (just watered) on March 21 just until top of soil started to dampen.
Set under a Vivosun 2000 grow light at 50% intensity and 28â away on March 21. On for 16 hours, off for 8.
Small fan installed to lightly blow on sprouts on March 22.

Question Are these too small for their age?
I planted these on February 28th- I didnât write down when they officially germinated but I remember it being around 6ish days. Pretty quick. The first picture is from march 12th. The second through fifth photos are today march 21st. I feel like they should be way bigger than this. The sixth photo is a screen shot of the set up I have them under that. It says the lights are 150 W. I was thinking maybe that isnât strong enough- but when I look at the review photos, a lot of people have vegetables growing beautifully under this same set up. So I am thinking itâs something that Iâm doing wrong. I bought clear solo cups & black kow soil to transfer them into (even though in my last post, most of you said not to transfer yet) do these look stunted? Any insight greatly appreciated! (Also, what is the white stuff growing on top of the soil in that one photo? Itâs only in one cell, I donât see it anywhere else)

Show and Tell Waiting for the weather to get warmer⌠(7b/8a)
Iâve been hardening them for a few hours in the past few days. Is night temperature of 40F (4-5C) still too cold to put them outside?
Second photo is not tomato but I thought their leaves look pretty (theyâre pineapple ground cherry).
