Hi
Wonder if anyone can help.

I've grown from seed several varieties of tomatoes and potted on into 3 inch
pots some weeks back,they have been kept in a south facing greenhouse
lean-to in good light ,but bubble wrap
lined front//roof.

I know that the time to pot on to final growing place is when plants are
approx 8/10 inches high and first truss flowers are about to open.


Like most things in gardening this is a general guide, plants can be a
bit reluctant to comply at times....

However my plants are now about 14 inches high,no flowers as yet,but do look
healthy with the
stems about 8 mm thick.

My Q is should I carry one with the plants or dump them ?? ,and buy some ??.
I've had to give them support via canes.



Why dump them , they'll no doubt get around to flowering in their own
good time. TBH we don't really worry about the flowers when potting on,
if the plants needs potting on.

It sounds like they need to move on given the size, I'd pot them on, or
put them where you intend to grow them depending on what else is going
on in the GH.
