Show Your Seedlings Here

[Gardeneer]

It is a bit too early for most of us to have seedling at this time (2/2/16) but the time is nearing. Actually my own sowing time is 2 to 3 weeks away.
But as an experiment and in order to occupy myself, I have started few dwarfs:

=1== Hahms Gelbe Topftomate >>> sowed 1/14/16. The picture below is taken today.
=2== New Big Dwarf >>>> I just sowed the seeds today.

Please feel free to post your seedling pictures here. ALL WELCOME !

Some MMMM goodies sowed 1/17. It was 3 for 3 on the Taimyr in the front row, even with a difficult helmet extraction on the one to the right.

The lone 0-33 in the back row was the only representative to germinate of 10 seeds sowed, and a bit gimpy too. Ordered more of this, but I'm ready to move on to Red Robin and planted seeds of that last Sunday.

Looking very good, Ricky.
Even though you have started 3 days after me, your seedlings are much bigger. I think it has to do with the variety. Dwarfs and specially micro dwarfs grow slowly.

OK folks ! Show (off !!) your seedlings

Big Beef (serious monsters) and 3 Ron's Carbon Copy. Both started 1/1/16.

I may have jumped the gun.

Regina , ...your seedlings look great, for 5 week old.
Actually they are PLANTS now and can take the world. Normally tomatoes get plant out size in 6 weeks + times. For me 10 inch tall is good for plant out.
Good luck !

These are 16 days old (Planted 1-17-2016) They have spent some time outside, but the next week is going to be too cool for that. It won't be long before they'll get to meet their Solo cups.

Wow ! Lots of seedling , Robert.
Looks like your work is cut out for you to separate and pot them soon.
Your plant out date should not be too far out now .
Good luck with all those babies .

your plants are very nice, short and stocky. I like them that way.
what is your light source and schedule ?
Also, how/what do you feed them. ?

Welcome Charley ! Coming along nicely.
This is just the beginning. More and more members are getting into action. I have started to more varieties but the have not yet germinated.
It is gonna be an exciting season. Lets us learn from each others' techniques and experience.

I use a 300W led grow light from Amazon my girlfriend bought for me from amazon for Christmas present. Cost about $100 or so. I used Berger Potting Mix. Not because it was anything special, but because it was the closest bag of potting mix to the check out counter at the local nursery. And that means I didnt have to carry it as far. I prep the potting soil with a diluted solution of compost tea and Texas Tomato Food before sowing. Since then I feed them with the same diluted tea/TTF 2 times. Grow light on for about 14 hours a day. Once they came up to about 2 inches and a few leaves, they were off to the races.
