Tomato feed
 
Hi,
I bought organic one (Fito- for fruit and vgetables)but I wonder if this one is good. When should I feed my tomatoes ( they are not flowering yet?!) They are leggy and short but still alive and doing better since Ive moved them on a sunnier place. Is it too late for them to produce anything this year?
Thanks.

My tomato food instructions say to start as soon as the trusses have pea
sized tomatoes.

I think if you feed them too early the first truss will be at ceiling
height!

I use tomorite and feed them weekly when the first truss appears, then every
second watering once the other trusses have set.
The plants are now 4.6ft and all have 3 trusses, some of them 4
