How to have bigest tomato?

​@@masfarmjk8855Bro got left hanging...for 2 years

You’re welcome, glad you found it useful!

Thanks Cory! This season should be filled with tomato growing vids. As far as pruning goes, you can check out this vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8yKbM2X173Hg40.html. Also check out my new guide on how to grow tomatoes from start to finish. Good luck!

@@lucasgrowsbestyt Lucas my stems are curling over and lightening in hue (color) - are they locked out. Could I send you a pic?

@@SnappingTurtle444Sure, send a photo of them to lucasgrowsbest@gmail.com!

Nice, whereabouts?

Yeah, those kits and gimmicky garden products can be misleading. You made the right move. Balcony growing is tricky I think but sounds like your having some success which is awesome! I'll have to try banana peels, thinking they'll have good potassium in them.

How sweet!🍅💚🍃

😂

Small beefsteak is still beefsteak

Thank you for the great tip👍🏾

That means so much, thanks Yanni and I'm glad you enjoy the vids!

Right on! Lots more beefsteak growing videos (hopefully) to be posted this season, so stick around.

Happy growing! Me too!💚🍃🍅

Glad you enjoyed, Kim!

Cool! Beefsteaks are so fun to grow, especially when you get it right. Check out some of my other vids to help you along 😀

Wow! Sounds like you've been bitten by the tomato bug! Haha.

Hi Diana, you are correct, that is a beefsteak (specifically a giant beefsteak). The tomatoes in this video are also beefsteaks, just not a giant variety. Thanks for watching :)

Here is a video where I planted my tomatoes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ma2Aa6t4tdeboZc.html

Why do I look funny? lol

I'm string trellising my tomatoes this year! Check out my recent vids 😂

No hybrid is not gmo. Its a first generation cross of 2 homogenous strains. So the seeds of a hybrid will not carry the traits of its parent.

@@jeil5676 Thank you!

@@honeybee2356 gmos are not bad for you btw don’t drink the koolaid

All plants and animals that have been domesticated are technically GMO if we're counting selective breeding. We've been doing this since the dawn of argicultur, for thousands of years, so by that definition non GMO food is pretty much only the stuff you find in a forest and not even all of that. GMO is one if those fad words that have no meaning anymore, like organic and chemical. All living things are organic no matter how they're grown, and everything that exists that's not a wave is chemical. Originally these words where attached to concepts with meaning, but they've been twisted for advertising purposes.

@@daniel4647 There is a huge difference between selective breeding and GMO. With selective breeding, you are making the genes already present in the population more prominent/prevalent. Those genes naturally evolved through passage of time. With GMO on the other hand, you are granularly modifying or adding genes as a human, with unknown consequences to the organism as a whole. Genes and their interactions are incredibly complex and as humans we are nowhere near able to predict or guarantee all side effects of any given modification.

Hi Colette, personally I recommend growing tomatoes in the ground, but certain varieties can work in pots. There are so many good methods to support tomatoes, check out my video "Raise the Stakes"!

Make sure you have a large pot or a large grow bag look on Amazon the grow bags do really well if you buy a cage it'll fit in that. I would at least do 10-15 gallon and put a water tray underneath and fertilize as needed.

They become diseased well before that... I discard them in October before we get snow. Tomato plants will not survive snow.

@@lucasgrowsbestyt So, all your tomato plants (including your outstanding Sweet 100 cherry tomato plants) are planted new every new Spring time?

@@yannip2083 I dunno about op, but that’s what I do every year. No point in trying to get stuff to live through the winter!

Ontario, Canada! How is it over there in Illinois? 😀

@@lucasgrowsbestyt it's false spring right now. It'll get cold again for sure. Started a few seeds though!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Tricia, you can although I don't have much experience with container beefsteaks. I have seen it done successfully but you will have to be sure to keep watering it as the pots will dry out quickly. If possible, I recommend growing tomatoes in the ground.

I didn't have much luck doing so last season, despite a good watering schedule and fertilizing. This year, I expanded my ground garden and they are flourishing. Out of 65 plants (7 different varieties) I harvest around 60-80 lbs a week.

@@lucasgrowsbestyt i’m growing my tomato’s in a planter and temperatures get up to 103 where i’m living. how often do you think i should water them? i’ve been watering them in the mornings but it’s leaves are yellowing and wilting. i’m not sure if i’m overwatering or underwatering.

I get mine from a local supermarket, garden centre, or online orders.

The plant on the front right corner was completely unpruned. Check out my tomato growing playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLBMgEHe5hSgi1SSvj5zaVLP8b13NRb2IB

Have you seen my video 'Proof You Don't Need to Prune Beefsteaks'? Some of my biggest tomatoes have grown on unpruned plants.

@@lucasgrowsbestyt yeah there isn't really a need to prune tomato plants. The only reason to prune is either preference or you have limited space but want to try varieties. However, generally speaking if you provide all the nutrients, enough sun, and water the plants daily, you should be fine. I believe that if a Tomato plant puts out 100 flowers in a span of 2 weeks, then that means the plant has the genetic potential for at least 70-90 flowers to pollinate and produce fruit. If they don't, then that means the environment got too cold or too hot OR there is something we ask Gardners didn't provide in terms of water, nutrients, or sun light to get them all to pollinate and then fruit set. I don't think a plant really goes to make 100 flowers only to set like 15 of them versus flowering 100 of them and setting as many as it can.

So what do you use?
