Advantage of thick stalks on seedlings.

Doug9345 · February 28, 2014

There are a couple of threads in progress that are asking how to grow transplants with thick stalks. Let's back up one step. If you aren't selling them what is the advantage to having thick stalks? Has there been any controlled studies that show that you get earlier production of more tomatoes or whatever? My experience has been whether I planted 2" plants or ten inch plants they all looked about the same in garden in a matter of a couple of weeks.
