matermama · June 12, 2006

Hi All

My green zebra is not growing like the others?? they are still about 8 inches high no new leaves or anything? should i just take em out ? or should i be patient. I just wonder if they are going to do anything or just stay small with no growth? I would hate to waste the space if they just don't grow. hmmmm .

They have been in t he ground about 4 wks and no growth, can anyone recommed somthing or ideas??

My Green Zebra are one of the strongest, most vigorous growers that I have had (which surprised me - first time growing this variety).

I don't know if you are organic or not, but if not maybe you could feed with a transplant/root development liquid MG or similar - high middle number.

I've only grown that variety once, but for me it was a hugely productive plant, but not overly tall, maybe 4 1/2 feet tops. Unlike some of the monsters that sometimes get 9 - 12 feet tall. Is it just shorter than other varieties, or is it truly not doing anything at all?

Fert, I don't see much anything going on in the last two weeks

. Today i gave them a shot of vit B1.
I might make some Llama poop tea and use that and maybe that will get them some get up and go :wink:

What do you give them to give them a shot of Vit. B1? And what does B1 do?

It is a hormone like substance with cheleated iron and phosphate. also has yucca exctract I use it for root stimulant and to reduce plant shock.
So it says on the label LOL.
I did try a new brand ,but i think i like my other brand better. I m still a novice at the tomato growing, i just thought it works great for flowers .
the active ingrediant is Alpha naphthaleneacetic acid
