Fertilizing for indoor tomatoes

tgplp · November 18, 2011

Hey guys!

I am trying to figure out the right way to fertilize my indoor tomatoes. Can anyone help me? They are 1 inch seedlings with only one set of true leaves right now, so I will have to wait a little while, but I thought I would figure out what I want to do first. How old do seedlings have to be to be fertilized? How many true leaves? (these are dwarf varieties)

Here is my plan, feel free to adjust it:

When the seedlings have three sets of true leaves, I will fertilize with fish fertilizer.

When plants have first buds, I will switch to a fertilizer I got today at my gardening center. It is called Earth Juice Bloom.

Thanks!
Taryn
