Here's my biggest tomato plant currently. Black Cherry. Mixed i used for this is 1/3rd, LGM planting mix, 1/4th cup vermiculite, 1/3rd coco coir, 1/4th worm castings, and 2 red cup azomite. I've been feeding it a mild nitrogen base compost tea about every 2 weeks, going to start doing weekly.

Really learned a lot this season from a bunch of experiments.

I planted these babies March 15th using the dense planting method and tomorrow I'm putting them in 3 inch pots. Normally last frost is end of April and we had a snow flurry this AM and a high of mid 40's today..
I have an attached green house but its not heated soooo. I have to balance the under grow lights to green house timing... without having to move all those pots inside at night .. we are still getting low 20 at night... ect. BTW these are cherokee purples and beefsteaks
