Growing Tomatoes

flowing tomato too small

13 years ago

I was excited to find my local grocery store had tomatoes at the garden centre, I quickly bought 2 tomato (and 2 pepper) plants. After I planted my very young toms into my garden I realized they had flower buds! I know this cannot be good! I snipped off what I could, was this the best option? Why does this happen? I hope they grow much taller before they actually do flower again! help please!

Just wondering, what kind of tomato plants are they exactly?

I'm not sure what exactly your problems are but in my opinion even tomatoes have efflorescence. The larger the flowers are the better results you'll get. When the plants are flowering, they'll need extra red lights to thrive, especially in indoor growing. So at this period, I'll switch to a red LED grow lights.
