    Still doesn't easily identify the difference. That determinate tip you pointed out looks like a leaf node and you didn't even show the tip of an indeterminate. You pointed the camera below it. And both varieties will have flowers that come off the side of the stems. I'm not sure how this actually helped anyone.

  • @edinahorvath1191

    Yeah, I was thinking we are only able to find out when it is already too late with determinate ones.😂 I have messed up the labels and have some Roma in the mix and now I've lost patience and rough pruned all the suckers at 2 feet and put them to root just in case. They all have started rooting, so I can hopefully start new plants of determinate ones that aren't skeletons 😂. Dear me I am so co fused. I had flowers left right and centre 😂 and definitely around the top because that is where the plant grows, logically. I have a mix of Romas, San marzanos, Big Tom F1s, Thessalonikis, Costoluto Fiorentinos, and a cherry type god knows. 27 plants and counting, thanks to me being unsure. 😂

  • @BillynBertie
    @BillynBertieАй бұрын

    Thanks for such a simple explanation. I have grown them for years and always thought it was difficult to find out until it stopped growing vertically, but I have never actively looked at the growing tip. The only confusion are the ones called 'semi determinate' like one I am growing now called Cornue des Andes, an Italian type. This puts out loads of side growth like determinates but still retains a growing tip, but the habit is much weaker than a true indeterminate and it runs out of steam at about two metres.

    I bought a pack of tomato seeds that was a mix of a couple or more varieties. After taking them home to start my seedlings, I realized it said on the back that some were determinate and some were indeterminate (and I realize now I should have figured that out beforehand but I think I grabbed them in a rush). So when I realized I had both kinds in the same pack I realized I had an issue: how the heck am I supposed to tell which is which? It’s obviously important to know because it totally changes the layout of the garden, knowing whether they need a trellis and how tall they will likely get. Now here I am trying to figure that out. Is there any way I can figure it out in the early stages of growth? My tomato plants are 6-12 inches tall roughly, and have to go in the ground may 30th because that’s the planting date but also is when my schedule is free for me to plant them.

  • @TheGeekgardener
    @TheGeekgardener3 ай бұрын

    For cherry tomatoes, when grown using hydroponic fertilizer (fed daily), you need 3-4 gallon/10 litres of growing medium. With non daily feeding you need 6gal/20liter medium. Container shape/depth doesn't matter

  • @TheGeekgardener

    Thanks for your comments. For strawberries, I would suggest give a general purpose hydroponics fertilizer like this gardenguru.in/products/general-grow-500-liters If your medium is cocopeat, you need to water daily with nutrients. Adjust the right ec and ph. If you are interested in learning more in depth.

    The cocopeat I used wasnt buffered. Buffered cocopeat is quite expensive in India and is preferred only for certain commercial projects. one can always do the buffering themselves, if required.

    if you are collecting seeds from a plant that grew from open pollinated or heirloom variety seeds, then it will grow into the same variety. if you are growing a plant from a hybrid seed, it is better to buy the seeds again from the seed source.
