Not getting red

whoose · July 10, 2015

So in my green house my toms are 7 feet tall but nothing is getting ripe. Temp is under 90 max about 50 min. I have 40% SHADE. What to do? Fert? Type?

Lol you asked the same question yesterday: http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=37528

And you're gonna get the same answers - just be patient and let them grow! The height of the plant doesn't have much to do with how quickly the fruit ripen, they're gonna take the amount of time they need no matter what.

There is one trick that my mother in low shared with me. To force tomatoes to ripen she would rake soil a bit to disturb some roots. That makes tomatoes ripen faster, it stresses them. She would use that at the end of the season. I am not sure you should do that now.
Stressed plant concentrates on fruit and not growing more stems and leafs. That was her reason. Her eduction was in Landscape designing and more. She nows a thing or two about plants.
