I have experimented with growing some Pineapple and Martino tomato's very slow and cool. These were started in late Jan. It was the first time I have saved seed so it started as a germination test. I knew they would be to big by May. I was curious how commercial plants are so thick and compact. They were fed lightly 2 to 3 times with seaweed, AACT extract, buffalo loam and 1/4 strength shultz' 10-15-10 while in DE. They hardly grew at all until they were up-potted. Then they slowly came out of their purple state and exploded. They have been kept between 55-65 except for a few sunny days when the GH reached mid 80's for a few hours.
Here they are on 2/18 ![]() Today ![]() ![]() Does this seem like a good plan? Do you think it will make them sturdier for cool nights when planted out? |
