Calling all Tomato growers

Hello everyone, Just divided and transplanted my two Cherokee Carbon. Ended up laying them flat and molding them to stand up straight. Soil mix half native half recycled. Growing in 7 gallon pots

I forgot all about this thread, probably because my tomato's and balcony have suffered with rain and cold so much... but the sun was out the last few days...
All the plants have suffered a bit, the tomato's though dont like the cold and wet very much, but a couple will pull through.
They get almost no direct sun at all behind the balcony wrap. such is life.

Stupid wind :finger:... Love your criss-cross supports for the broken one :toke:

How much/often are you giving them molasses these days... assuming a ~tbsp/gal?
 
@Mozzy I give them 10 to 15 ml a liter and every 2 to 3 weeks , Then just plain water , no feeding at this stage . should see some good growth coming up as the last 3 weeks we had a lot of cloudy days . :thumbsup:
