Very early determinante tomatoes

[MrBig46]

I transplanted the seedlings, each plant is 200 ml crucible. After 44 days from sowing they all have three or four leaves. To the time of planting to warm hotbed remains about 60- 70 days. For us this winter will probably long.

Vladimir, those are very nice looking seedlings .
My seedlings , at 22 days from sowing , have 3 to 4 true leaves. But they are much smaller than yours. I keep them at cool temperatures , ~ 65F ( = 18 C).
I have about 40-50 days to plant out in the garden.
The only EARLY variety determinant that i have is SILVERY FIR TREE.
My other early variety is STUPICE but it is indet.
Goo luck and have a great season !

„After 44 days from sowing they all have three or four leaves“ - all greater than 25 mm (1 ") and therefore appear larger plants. They are also older..

Determinate tomatoes I'll grow to three stems, indeterminante on a single stalk. Stupické polní rané (which is sometimes referred to as semi- determinate) I will grow another one plant to three stems.

That's my seedlings look like after 58 days.
Surprise:
1.Sarayev Shtambovyi has a deployed the first flowering already in the seventh leaf. Other Sarayev's already have eight sheets and no hint of flowers. Nevertheless they were earlier last year
2.Maglia Rosa has a slightly different leaves than the other, more sawtooth.

what are the red threads for?

I think I know the answer, but I will let MrBig explain, because it relates to local culture and tradition.

I love the beauty of these seedlings against the backdrop of snowy winter outside.

[MrBig46]

The red thread is always on the fourth sheet. It facilitates me count sheets while watching growth. Red is because the red color I love it and my wife had in her sewing. Now I shall refer to eighth leaves perhaps I will use blue if there is. Czech national flag is red- white- blue.

I want to have plants with large root ball. That's why I give all of them into larger cups (500 ml). I will start slowly hardening.

Hi Vladimir,

Plants look great, and I don't see any snow left outside. Good luck with the hardening and I hope your colf frame has some decent heat in it.

You are about 2 months ahead of me. I'm just starting my seeds during this weekend)
Good luck, Vladimir!

[MrBig46]

Spring begun very early last Saturday. In two days, all the snow had melted. Yesterday was 17 ° C today 13 ° C. Winter can still come back and I'll really need the luck which Andrew wish me, but it is still for a long time until I'll put the tomatoes in the garden.
Sarayev Shtambovyi ended the growth of the main stem by two inflorescens and under eighth leaf sucker began to grow.
