Growing Tomatoes From Seed

[GmailJMS]

I have tumbler tomatoes, do I grow these the same way as in the video? and if so how often do I give the seeds water?

Yes, the same way and don't water too often - it is best to let the soil become almost dry before watering again, otherwise they may become leggy.

@TomatoGrowing ok thanks. They are two days into the germination process and still damp so I'm just wondering how long I should leave it until I water them again. I leave them in the sunlight all day really on a window sill, but not directly and then at nightime I cover them with a polythene bag. Im thinking of watering them like every three days, are my methods alright?

As long as the soil is damp there is no need to water.

I sometimes don't water between sowing and transplanting three weeks later. Depends on the temperatures and how fast the soil dries-out of course.

Hello, after watching this video, I've realized I've given my seedlings too much water, because they are really tall. What should I do at this point? Just quit watering them at all for a few days, or what? I've been using a dropper to put a little on each plant each night. They are only about 2 weeks old since planting in the jiffy greenhouse planter that I bought at lowes.

@khalsted I would stop watering and let the top dry out slightly then only water lightly.Over watering causes dampening off where they get tall skinny and fall over trust me i have done it.Good luck with your plants.
