This is how my microdwarf tomatoes season has been so far.
I think I have the same variety as dfollett.
Red Robin x Rose Quartz Multiflora F3 from RRx RQMF f2-2.
My winter grow out became a early spring grow out.
My seeds were started on February 14 , 2015.
I am growing 9 plants.
They were under grow lights in the house.
I transplanted them into 6 in pots
They did well but were getting to tall for my lights
I decided to take them outside to my hoophouse in mid April
The did poorly in the hoop house with supplemental heating.
I transplanted them into 11 in pots except for one which is still in the 6 in pot.
They are finally looking better as I have now moved them outside.
The plants range in height from 1(B)at 7 inches, 3(X,E,A) at 10 inches, 4(C,A,W,G) at12 inches, one (F) at 16 inches.
Most of my plants have about the same growth habit as Red Robin.
I am growing one plant of Red Robin so I can compare.
I have 4 plants D,F,X and W that are more of the multiflora .
I had 2 plants A and F that were earlier to produce tomatoes. Plant A has produced 8 so far.
Plant F 5 tomatoes, plant D 9 tomatoes, plant B 4 tomatoes, Plant G 7 tomatoes, C 1,
tomato plant X 3 tomatoes.
The tomatoes had been red.
As of today June 18th Plants E and W have green tomatoes but haven't had any ripen.
I was very impressed with Dan's results all the tomatoes he picked from his plants.
Pictures of plants A and B have the plants in the wrong order
I am going to be starting f4 seed from plant A, F and D .
Chris which ones do you want seed from?
