But no - it should be red. Why? Because otherwise it tastes like in the supermarket.

@@christrickett3291 just google a bit about the plants needs and it will make u happy. What ph level do they need, do they sproud in the dark or light? How much nutrients do they need? Generally plants need Nitrogen as long as they grow green and stick material. When they start to get flowers and then fruits: Potassium and Phosphorus (its called NPK system).

If you plan to grow fruit bearing plants indoors dont forget to manually polinate. I see these videos and always see amateur gardeners comment their opinions about why they dont reach full fruit production indoors when the answer usually boils down to a lack of pollination. There are no pollinators indoors so obviously its a process that needs done by hand. Fortunately tomato plants are double sex plants. They produce male and female flowers so it can pollinate itself. To manually pollinate a tomato plant wait for the flowers to reach peak growth than give your plant a gentle shake (before watering not after). This will release the pollin into the air and increase the likelihood of self pollination. Do this a few times as new flowers form. Pollination is very important in fruit production and significantly increases yield. Otherwise your plant will only produce parthenocarpic fruit. Happy gardening.
As a home grower I've found this video is amazing! Thank you very much for doing this :) I'm growing tomatoes as well, S. Marzano, but it's nor heirloom, it saved the seeds from supermarket's tomatoes! Probably it's a hybrid, let's see! Seedlings germinated in 4-5 days and now they're 5cms tall. Finger crossed :) To have more tomatoes it's probably better to switch the fertilizer which is higher in potassium than nitrogen, so the plant can concentrate on producing fruits. Also to fruit they need a little bit higher temp (24-28) and also a huge amount of light! (21 DLI)
Great to hear, all the best! Keep me updated :) I grow just for fun, to record timelapse of their evolution. I used fertilizers and also had plant lights but at one point I over-watered and it took a few days just to recover from it. In the end it had a few fruits and many flowers so it was all worth the wait I guess.
Hope this dispels some myths; 1.) heirloom seeds are open-pollinated varieties that have tested true to type through time by growing successfully in a region for many generations. They also have cultural relevance and importance. As time passes, more varieties will fall into the “heirloom category.” Heirloom seeds are not always the best choice for growing in difficult conditions like extreme weather or short seasons. 2.) Open-pollinated seeds naturally cross with forces of nature like pollinators, insects, and wind. Their offspring tends to be true to type (similar to parents) and stable. All HEIRLOOM seeds are open-pollinated. Interestingly (and somewhat confusingly), not all open-pollinated seeds are recognized as heirlooms because they are new offspring of plants. But with time, they can be considered heirloom. 3.) hybrids are “cultivars that are produced by human interaction and manipulation.” A hybrid is a cross between two or more unrelated inbred plants that produce an unstable offspring, which means that in nature, these two plants could breed together but typically do not, and human involvement helps this process along. Hybrids are not genetically modified and pose no environmental or health issues. Modern agriculture is built on the use of hybrids for their uniformity and productivity.
your comment about switching to a fertilizer higher in potassium...you should have a good understanding of the difference between NPK and NPK RATIO TO DETERMINE % BY WEIGHT OF THE NPK...The following will help you convert to % P and % K: Commercial fertilizer usually have PK in the following forms: Phosphorus Pentaoxide P2O5 consists of 56.4% oxygen and 43.6% phosphorus by weight. To get the % P value, multiply the reported NPK value by 0.436, or approximately half of the reported value. K2O consists of 17% oxygen and 83% potassium by weight. To get the % K value, multiply the reported NPK value by 0.83. Using this information you can see that a fertilizer NPK number of 10-10-10 contains 10% nitrogen, 4.36% phosphorus, and 8.3% potassium. These conversion numbers will help you determine the correct amount of fertilizer to add to your garden so that you meet the soil test requirements. PLANTS USE NPK NUTRIENTS IN THE FOLLOWING CONCENTRATIONS FOR OPTIMAL GROWTH 3-1-2...
Hahaha i was dying laughing at this. One fruit! And you were pumped about it. Good on you!! Soooo in order for you to get a much better harvest i would cut more suckers off the crotch of the branches so it doesnt spend all its energy on leaves vs fruit. Also one BIG thing to help you is that tomatos have male and female in the flowers so can self start the tomatoes, however they require movement. When planted outside in the wind thats what happens. But since you did this indoors you will need to simulate wind or a bumble bee. I use an electric toothbrush to shake the flowers and boom much more fruit. Good luck.
Thanks, I know this might be the lowest ROI as far as harvesting goes 😁 but it was a fun project! I did use paint brush to manually pollinate the flowers. It’s not shown in the video. I’m working on more plants right now. Hopefully you’ll get to see better harvests in the upcoming videos :)
Its a determinate plant. U dont cut off any branches. But the fertilizer had to be higher in potassium instead of nitrogen to get more fruits. And definitely more light
@Brian Corea ah yes. I didnt see that, im so used to cherry tomato plants being indeterminate nice catch. Never grown tiny tim before. I usually grow sunsugars and sungolds and of course the classic supersweet 100s.
The mission of getting a time lapse (which has to be indoor in a controlled environment) is at odds with the mission of getting a lot of tomatoes. And of course you only need one to show how a tomato fruit develops.
Tomatoes are not as easy to grow from seed as many people think i grew it from seed this year and many leaves died because of overwatering. Luckily when i noticed the reason it came back
I’m currently growing tomatoes,after 71 days I have around 14 tomatoes per seed , i focus on the plants a lot to get more yield , I guess the main thing was to take of the (legs) so between the stem and the main leaves I pluck the legs that grow out the stem so the the plant can focused more on the tomatoes and also helps the plant to grow up instead of outwards.
What you are taking off are called the "suckers" and you should only pluck it the first feet of the tomato plant, the suckers can turn into flower stems and therefore you would get more tomatoes. Dont pluck them unless the plant gets out of control.
@@WilliamGA yea they are called suckers , I pluck them of as I want my plants to grow up tall and not out they are about 6 ft now with about 24 tomatoes was h plant , doing really well
I have to water mine everyday because they are left outside in blazing heat and get dry everyday They are growing exponentially and impressed a couple people who want me to grow some for them, I warned them it’s a little late in the season and you may have to buy a grow light and take them inside when it starts getting cold and snowing Plants are Atleast 5 feet tall have like 20 of them all grown from seed. Very easy and fun for beginners
Watering depends on many factors. If the plant is in garden (not container) where it gets plenty of sun you can water daily without problem. If it is in a container, take caution do not overwater. It can cause root rot. That’s what happened in my case. Only water when the soil looks dry.
Soil should be moist but not drenched/soaking wet. Under watering is better than over watering. If you under water, the soil will look dry and leaves will start drooping. You should water more if you notice that. On the contrary leaves will go yellow and fall off if over watered continuously. That is due to root rot. My suggestion would be to water little by little and observe what happens. It’s a balancing act but not too difficult.
I bet that tomato was delicious! We had 2 tomato plants in our back yard and they put out 113 tomatoes between the two of them in one season! 113! I counted only the ones that were good enough to eat!
Mine are alot smaller but mostly cuz I have 6 tomato plants in one pot so over watering hasn't been an issue but under watering. I make sure to give them loads of water every 3 days. Just 3 days ago one of them started fruiting so I can't wait!!!
How relaxing is this?! I'm doing plum style San marzanos going traditional with some tomato sauce olive oil and crush garlic,basil rao"s can suck it. At least until I run out of my sauce. 😎
Tomatoes have to be the number 1 easiest thing in the world to grow. And for those of you wondering don't ever think you can't grow tomatoes in pots because you absolutely definitely can. I grow them in pots every year and have Giga harvests =)
Life is so beautiful. Emerging almost from nothing.... Can you please tell us what lights U have used especially in the flowering and fruit-making stage? Thank you very much!
For this video I used a generic LED light strip. Temperature 5000K and power 60W if that helps. I have now upgraded my setup to Spider Farmer LED grow lights for my current projects and the plants have been growing very well so far. Will post timelapse videos once they reach harvesting stages. 🤞
@@rapidlapse thank you for your answer. So ypu say that a plant can make flowers under a 5k led? I ask because on internet is so much contradiction. ..
It might depend on the type of LED used. If you see my marigold and zinnia flower timelapse videos, they were grown under the 5000K LED. But I also had another LED light a long time ago that didn’t work. To find which one works is a bit of trial and error. If you are looking for guarantee just get a plant grow LED instead. They are certified to grow plants.
Just needs more sunlight, probably some fertilizer and a bigger container. I think Tiny Tim is indeterminate tomato plant which needs the suckers plucked off to place more energy on the flower/fruit energy as opposed to the leaves. You’re doing an amazing thing and got me interested in trying this strain! Currently I am Growing Roma, Black Cherry, Cherry Falls, and another one I can’t seem to remember along with my jalapeño plant. Thanks again for sharing these!
Tiny Tim is a determinant dwarft tomato, so pruning suckers wouldn't have done anything. If I had to guess, it's that growing indoors without a lot of airflow means that some flowers don't pollinate. In the video it shows quite a few flowers that didn't become fruit
informasi yang luar bisa, mendapat banyak pengetahuan tentang cara membuat usaha penanaman tomat yang sangat subur dan menghasilkan banyak buah sehingga mendapatkan hasil maksimal. Perlu banyak belajar lagi dari video ini, terima kasih informasinya untuk berbagi informasi sesama pecinta tanaman indonesia
That's a great idea! I might try in future. My goal was to capture the plant and transformation in best detail possible. Putting a plastic bottle would create reflection and uneven lighting for the camera.
ONCE YOUR TOMATO SEEDLING DEVELOPS TRUE LEAVES YOU NEED TO START TO FERTILIZE. DO NOT use fertilizer in your seedling mix...the seed has enough nutrients to support DEVELOPMENT AND LIFE. Just keep soil mix slightly moist...CLEARLY AT THE (0:57 mark) your true leaves are yellowing because of lack of nitrogen in your soil. YOUR FLOWERS WERE NOT FERTILIZED...THAT IS WHY THE FELL OFF AND LACK OF FRUIT... GET YOURSELF ULTRASONIC POLLINATOR FOR YOUR PLANTS AND SHAKE THOSE FLOWERS YOURSELF. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH POLLEN COMES FROM THE FLOWER...AeroGarden Be the Bee Pollinator for Indoor Gardens, use it outdoors too!!!!
It depends on the pot size. You should water just enough so that the soil is not too dry. Over-watering is worse than under-watering. For the pot I used, I was watering every other day i.e. 3-4 times per week.
I did not remove anything in this timelapse project. Everything is intact until the end. My goal was to film tomato seed turning into fruit and tell a story via timelapse. I wasn’t planning on maximizing harvest as you can see in the end - I was beyond excited to harvest just one tiny tomato. 😊
Thank you for this video, its entertaining. In just curious about the camera set up. What is the time-lapse duration per day and the Frame per second setting. Thanks
This tomato plant was a determinate variety (no vines) and I read that pruning doesn’t help determinate ones. For the others, pruning improves yield and promotes growth. I haven’t made videos on that topic but you can find them on YT. All the best!
In retrospect, I could have done a few things differently for faster and better growth and harvest. 1) The pot I started with was too small, was ceramic based hence water must have clogged and root rot might have slowed down growth. 2) The light I was using for this project was more suited for photography/videography and less for promoting plant growth. I have now upgraded to grow lights that are specifically made for plants and will be using terracotta clay pots that are good at losing excess water so the roots will never be stressed. My future videos should have better harvest. 🤞
I started tomatoes from seed way too late this year, but I found a purple cherry variety in an old seed pack and couldn't help myself. Still at seedling stage, hopefully a centipede doesn't get them and we have a mild winter...
I’m sure it will grow before the winter is here. In my case, I made a few mistakes which is why I believe it took so long to grow. If I had used a large pot with good soil and didn’t overwater it then it would have grown way faster and the yield would have been better too. Hindsight is always 20/20. 😊
@@rapidlapse Cherry tomato plants need at least a 10 gal pot at the minimum. Better be in the ground or a 20 gal pot for each plant. I grew tomato plants the previous years in the ground and I had too many tomatoes that I let them fell in the ground. This year I am having some big beefsteak and some cherry tomato plants that I bought from the stores are setting fruits now. But they are the ordinary varieties. The better varieties I bought seeds are still seedlings now, only about 5 weeks and just put in the ground. I am in California, so we don't have frost until after Thanks giving, so hopefully the better varieties can still make it. Your time lapse video is one of the best of this kind on YT, although your tomato production was very poor, due to small growing medium and not enough sunlight. Growing tomato plants to good production is not that hard, but making video clips like yours is. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I am going to keep that in mind next time. Due to filming logistics and space constraints, I could not use 20gal pot and I film indoors in a light controlled environment to get good timelapse footage. I have recently upgraded my plant grow lights so I’m hoping for better harvests in future videos. 🤞
@@rapidlapse Getting some flowers and blooms. The random purple tomato seeds are growing up to look suspiciously like pepper plants. I think I got seed cucked. . 😆
hey i was wondering if you have any fertilezers you recommend my large cherry tomato (15 day's old with decent growth) doesn't have any plant food/fertilizer
Wow, that’s really affordable pricing. My reason for picking cherry was to demonstrate determinate tomato growth and most importantly to have fun while making an epic timelapse video. My 6 months of hard work only grew 2 tomatoes 😅 but it was a fun project nonetheless.
@@rapidlapse I mean there is not a problem with cherry tomatoes I just don't sell them and also I'm carnivore I hate tomato but I can totally agree with you here
@@BLACKMENFORTRUMP Thanks, I just used sticks from fallen tree branches in my garden. That worked fine. If you need better support you can find plant support rods at Lowe's, Home Depot or any of the big stores.
Many of you asked for a full tomato timelapse video from seed to fruit. It took me almost 6 months to make this video but here it is finally. Enjoy! 😊

To get more fruit you need to cut some of the branches and leaves so the plant can put resources into growing more fruit.

@rapidlapse it isn’t that ripe yet..
Edit: I ate it
Im growing so many of these right now
All the best!
Tomatoes have to be the number 1 easiest thing in the world to grow. And for those of you wondering don't ever think you can't grow tomatoes in pots because you absolutely definitely can. I grow them in pots every year and have Giga harvests =)
💯
at june 25 2023 i see this tomato plant the first time i see a fruit on a plant is was in Atlanta at i saw a pepper
Thank you🍅
i love to plant!
Life is so beautiful. Emerging almost from nothing.... Can you please tell us what lights U have used especially in the flowering and fruit-making stage? Thank you very much!
For this video I used a generic LED light strip. Temperature 5000K and power 60W if that helps. I have now upgraded my setup to Spider Farmer LED grow lights for my current projects and the plants have been growing very well so far. Will post timelapse videos once they reach harvesting stages. 🤞
@@rapidlapse thank you for your answer. So ypu say that a plant can make flowers under a 5k led? I ask because on internet is so much contradiction. ..
It might depend on the type of LED used. If you see my marigold and zinnia flower timelapse videos, they were grown under the 5000K LED. But I also had another LED light a long time ago that didn’t work. To find which one works is a bit of trial and error. If you are looking for guarantee just get a plant grow LED instead. They are certified to grow plants.
@@rapidlapse Thank you. I was hoping I do not need to buy grow lights. They are expensive and you need a lot of them if you have many plants.
Verry nice
Thanks!
This gives me motivation on my tomatoes
Is this fella grew indoor
My fellas who receive full sunlight can do better
Full sunlight is better. I grew mine indoors under plant lamps. They won’t grow well in the absence of direct light(either plant light or sunlight).
@@rapidlapse going back at this
My tomatoes are now blooming fruits
@@azander1958 hopefully you have more fruits than I did!
that's the same type of tomato that my garden has
Just needs more sunlight, probably some fertilizer and a bigger container. I think Tiny Tim is indeterminate tomato plant which needs the suckers plucked off to place more energy on the flower/fruit energy as opposed to the leaves. You’re doing an amazing thing and got me interested in trying this strain! Currently I am
Growing Roma, Black Cherry, Cherry Falls, and another one I can’t seem to remember along with my jalapeño plant. Thanks again for sharing these!
Tiny Tim is a determinant dwarft tomato, so pruning suckers wouldn't have done anything. If I had to guess, it's that growing indoors without a lot of airflow means that some flowers don't pollinate. In the video it shows quite a few flowers that didn't become fruit
tiny tim is determinate, if he cut off the suckers he would've halved his harvest.
So, just wait 160 days for one cherry Tomato ? 🥺🥺
Haha in my case it took long but normally if you have large container and plant during the normal season it will grow faster and better.
@@rapidlapse hahaha okay. Thanks for putting a little bit more hope to my tomatoes 😂😂 I was about this close 🤏🏻 on giving up today lol
informasi yang luar bisa, mendapat banyak pengetahuan tentang cara membuat usaha penanaman tomat yang sangat subur dan menghasilkan banyak buah sehingga mendapatkan hasil maksimal. Perlu banyak belajar lagi dari video ini, terima kasih informasinya untuk berbagi informasi sesama pecinta tanaman indonesia
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for sharing this... So much appreciated your effort 🙏🏻
Superb
You can use Cal-Mag to correct that deficiency Cody recommends the one w iron 💯 greener foliage nodes bro!
at the beginning you can put plastic bottle on it so it keep the heat inside and grow faster 😊
That's a great idea! I might try in future. My goal was to capture the plant and transformation in best detail possible. Putting a plastic bottle would create reflection and uneven lighting for the camera.
ONCE YOUR TOMATO SEEDLING DEVELOPS TRUE LEAVES YOU NEED TO START TO FERTILIZE. DO NOT use fertilizer in your seedling mix...the seed has enough nutrients to support DEVELOPMENT AND LIFE. Just keep soil mix slightly moist...CLEARLY AT THE (0:57 mark) your true leaves are yellowing because of lack of nitrogen in your soil. YOUR FLOWERS WERE NOT FERTILIZED...THAT IS WHY THE FELL OFF AND LACK OF FRUIT... GET YOURSELF ULTRASONIC POLLINATOR FOR YOUR PLANTS AND SHAKE THOSE FLOWERS YOURSELF. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH POLLEN COMES FROM THE FLOWER...AeroGarden Be the Bee Pollinator for Indoor Gardens, use it outdoors too!!!!
Do we have to watered daily
It depends on the pot size. You should water just enough so that the soil is not too dry. Over-watering is worse than under-watering.
For the pot I used, I was watering every other day i.e. 3-4 times per week.
Tickle your tomato flowers (gently) for more pollination/fertilisation = more fruit. Bugs/wind do this for you when plants are outdoors.
I used paint brush to pollinate some of the flowers which is not shown in the video. 😊
I am currently growing some tomatoes but powdery mildew is very difficult to get rid off
Water the soil not the leaves
did u remove suckers through out veg and flower cycles ?
I did not remove anything in this timelapse project. Everything is intact until the end. My goal was to film tomato seed turning into fruit and tell a story via timelapse. I wasn’t planning on maximizing harvest as you can see in the end - I was beyond excited to harvest just one tiny tomato. 😊
throw in table spoon of lime/ground up egg shells for every gallon potting mix and feed it every week or 2 tomato would do a lot better.
Thanks
question did the blossoms start out black and than turn yellow my blossoms are black.
Thank you for this video, its entertaining. In just curious about the camera set up. What is the time-lapse duration per day and the Frame per second setting. Thanks
I take 1 frame every 10 minutes during filming. It is then sped up 10-20x during post production.
Growing a cherry tomato in my house
Pruning will help produce more fruit! 😊
Complete beginner here, is there a video or link where i can learn how to properly prune the plant?
This tomato plant was a determinate variety (no vines) and I read that pruning doesn’t help determinate ones. For the others, pruning improves yield and promotes growth. I haven’t made videos on that topic but you can find them on YT. All the best!
160 days seems like a very long time to produce fruits. This variety should take about 60 days. Why did it take so much longer?
In retrospect, I could have done a few things differently for faster and better growth and harvest. 1) The pot I started with was too small, was ceramic based hence water must have clogged and root rot might have slowed down growth. 2) The light I was using for this project was more suited for photography/videography and less for promoting plant growth.
I have now upgraded to grow lights that are specifically made for plants and will be using terracotta clay pots that are good at losing excess water so the roots will never be stressed. My future videos should have better harvest. 🤞
I started tomatoes from seed way too late this year, but I found a purple cherry variety in an old seed pack and couldn't help myself. Still at seedling stage, hopefully a centipede doesn't get them and we have a mild winter...
I’m sure it will grow before the winter is here. In my case, I made a few mistakes which is why I believe it took so long to grow. If I had used a large pot with good soil and didn’t overwater it then it would have grown way faster and the yield would have been better too. Hindsight is always 20/20. 😊
@@rapidlapse Cherry tomato plants need at least a 10 gal pot at the minimum. Better be in the ground or a 20 gal pot for each plant. I grew tomato plants the previous years in the ground and I had too many tomatoes that I let them fell in the ground.
This year I am having some big beefsteak and some cherry tomato plants that I bought from the stores are setting fruits now. But they are the ordinary varieties. The better varieties I bought seeds are still seedlings now, only about 5 weeks and just put in the ground. I am in California, so we don't have frost until after Thanks giving, so hopefully the better varieties can still make it.
Your time lapse video is one of the best of this kind on YT, although your tomato production was very poor, due to small growing medium and not enough sunlight. Growing tomato plants to good production is not that hard, but making video clips like yours is. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I am going to keep that in mind next time. Due to filming logistics and space constraints, I could not use 20gal pot and I film indoors in a light controlled environment to get good timelapse footage. I have recently upgraded my plant grow lights so I’m hoping for better harvests in future videos. 🤞
@@rapidlapse Getting some flowers and blooms. The random purple tomato seeds are growing up to look suspiciously like pepper plants. I think I got seed cucked. . 😆
Nice content ... cherry tomatoes usually bear a bunch of fruits but probably this couldn't get the right conditions
It needed pollinators!
I didn’t have bees around but I used toothbrush and paint brush to help pollinate. Maybe it wasn’t enough.
hey i was wondering if you have any fertilezers you recommend my large cherry tomato (15 day's old with decent growth) doesn't have any plant food/fertilizer
I use Ocmocote slow release fertilizer bought from store. It works fine.
do you put it under direct sun ?? hehe I want to plan tomato too! they are beautiful 🤩
I am using plant grow LED light :)
In west Virginia you can buy a whole pack of beefsteak tomato seeds for only a dollar I don't grow cherry they are too small for selling
Wow, that’s really affordable pricing. My reason for picking cherry was to demonstrate determinate tomato growth and most importantly to have fun while making an epic timelapse video. My 6 months of hard work only grew 2 tomatoes 😅 but it was a fun project nonetheless.
@@rapidlapse I mean there is not a problem with cherry tomatoes I just don't sell them and also I'm carnivore I hate tomato but I can totally agree with you here
@@rapidlapse and also it was a pretty good video also where can I get the things to hold it in place so it does not fall over and die
@@BLACKMENFORTRUMP Thanks, I just used sticks from fallen tree branches in my garden. That worked fine. If you need better support you can find plant support rods at Lowe's, Home Depot or any of the big stores.
@@rapidlapse I'm too young to go there so I'll use a stick btw how far do I put it to make sure it will not fall over
