50 Tiny Tim Tomato Seeds - Patio Tomato, Dwarf Heirloom, Cherry Tomato - by RDR Seeds

Planted 4 seeds in my hydroponic garden 4 sprouted within 3 or 4 days. Growing quickly now!

Jan 4, 2021: So far so good. I have a six pod aerogarden and put 3 seeds to each pod. All 6 pods have sprouts in less then a week. I do not have a green thumb but I'm happy with the progress. I'll continue to update as the plants develop.May 2, 2021: I was making really great progress with my tomato plants. At about 1 month old, they were big enough to graduate from my aerogarden and into their own pots. They looked beautiful, full and healthy. I added water to them thinking water = juicy plants = juicy tomatoes. Also, they came from an aerogarden where the roots are in water. Well, I guess I figured wrong because in days, they started to die. The leaves got wrinkly looking, got pale, curled under - not pretty. Out of 6 plants, 1 completely died. I took them outside wondering if natural sunlight would help? I also found out the pots I bought didn't have holes in the bottom, so the roots were probably molding in stagnant water. I drilled holes in the pots and bought some earthworms (hoping they could making passages for the roots to breathe again, eat the dead stuff, and produce castings for the roots to consume and recover). Seems like that is working! New bright green leaves are making their debut from the stem while it seems to have naturally pinched off what it considered was a lost cause. I've been cutting those away to allow room for the new growth to enjoy the sunlight. I wish I had known better because I feel like I stunted progress. The silver lining is I think there is one TINY little tomato forming. Who knows, maybe my husband and I can celebrate our efforts as we share the lone survivor after a few more weeks!May 16, 2021: We have several yellow blossoms!

Like these seeds nice tomato plant

I started 15 seeds and all 15 seeds germinated. What bothering me is the time it is taking to grow. After 3 weeks of popping out of the mix, I'm just seeing a true leaf! In the mean time my indeterminate cherry tomatoes popped out in 7 days and is forming true leaves now. This is my first time growing Tiny Tim, wondering if this is a normal for a cherry tomato, even with it being a dwarf.Update: All 15 plants are still alive and looking fabulous. I repotted the seedlings into 16 oz plastic cups, waiting for the weather to warm. BOY did they grow instantly. I guess they needed the extra space to stretch out. They are looking beautiful, healthy green sturdy plants. I can't wait for them to go into the garden and start fruiting.

I gave them 5 stars because I got at least 8 out of 10 to germinate. I think that's acceptable because I am an amateur, and not every seed is viable. I used a heating mat, but they were in rockwool, in a germinating frame and tray, so there was a good bit of space between them and the mat. I started them in plain, dechlorinated water, in the rockwool. Once they sprouted, I kept the rockwool damp with a few drops of Canna Start every day until a root was visible. Then they were transferred to a net pot with clay pebbles in a deep water culture bin with Sensi Grow. Now they are blooming, and the solution is changed to Sensi Bloom. Every day I vibrate the flower stalks with the back of an electric toothbrush, so they can pollinate in their indoor environment. I don't have to worry about PH because the Sensi products (PH Perfect) take care of it. Hoping to see baby fruits soon. The only thing that's curious to me, is that, out of a dozen plants, two appear to be unusual, and I wonder if they're breeding true. One is so tiny, you can barely see it...a dwarf of a dwarf if you will. But otherwise perfectly formed. The other is growing like a bush tomato, a giant among its brethren....I cut its head off so it would continue to fit on the shelf. Just want to see what it will do. It has been interesting and fun to grow these Tiny Tims.

Really great results. After 10 hours in my hydroponic system, I saw the seeds start to extend with a bit of root. On day 2 popping out. By day 4 I had so many i had to thin out and and the extra to soil under lights. Good seeds recommend but hopefully I'll save seeds so no need to repurchase. 3 stars until they go to fruit.

I planted two seeds in each of twelve 5-inch cups, with the assumption that I would get at least 2 or 3 good plants. Unexpectedly, they all came up. I let them continue to grow inside because by Easter here in North Georgia, it was still cold this year. By the time it was warm enough to plant them outside; they all looked yellow, sick and appeared to be dying. I threw out all but 4 plants. I didn’t want to waste much garden space with plants that didn’t look like they would survive. I put two in the garden and two in 12 inch pots with a soil, compost and peat moss mixed with fertilizer, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VZRV4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1.It’s now mid June. The two plants in the garden are about 15 inches tall with a lot of flowers but no tomatoes. The two in the pots are 27 inches tall and covered with so many green tomatoes I couldn’t resist counting them. It’s a total of 76 on one plant. Hopefully I will have ripe tomatoes in a few more days. The two in pots got more sunlight than the garden, but I think it was the fertilizer because I also have the best looking Beefsteak Tomatoes I have ever had. It was recommended by a neighbor when I asked why his tomatoes worked out so well every year.
