Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Wintersown Tomato vs Indoor Grown Tomato (Prudens Purple)

Delerium · March 18, 2013

I only used the outdoor germinated Prudens purple seeds to keep the seedlings the same size same date of germination. The indoor grown tomato plant doesn't get any outdoor sunlight just lights under cfl. And the outdoor grown tomato seedling just gets left outside with cooler night temps while the indoor grown tomato plant has a fairly consistent temp at 72F. I just want to observe how two seedlings that germinated on the same day compare as if one was growing exclusively indoors till planting date. Our night time temps still get in to the 40's so i will wait till we have 50F nights to plant these 2 plants side by side to see which produces tomatoes first and see if there is a difference in production for fun. I am no expert so

its fun for me to just do this to see how the 2 plants will compare.
