so here they are - sown 3/26, first plant popped 3/28. uppotted from 1" peat trays to 4" after 1 week - burying the stem deeper, then used my technique to bury the stem even deeper in the 4" pots, then yesterday uppotted to their final pots and burying the stems deeper still before their forever-home. so they should have a very good root base. only a few roots were stating to show on the sides of the 4", so that was good - they will stay here until i can sort out the males. after a couple of duds and euthanizing a couple of wimps i now have 18 viable plants out of 26 seeds (they were from someones Rx batch), 5 of 8 dosido cookies and 13 of 18 pineapple punch.
started in seeding potting soil, now in a 50/50 mix of rose soil and leaf mold compost with a healthy addition of my homemade horse manure and veggie-scrap compost, supplemented by Microlife 8-4-6 organic fertilizer.
following generally my overall method - which has me with 10 tomato plants at 4-5' tall and about 100 set fruit.
this is kinda fun!
will be checking back asking for sexing and pruning tips!
