@isabstmr , I use a heating mat that has a thermostat and usually set on 70-75 degrees , the trays lay right on top of the mat.. works very well and does help with more even germination.. thanks for stopping by!

Hi. Thanks for your video! What type of heat do you use for the seedlings and at what temperature? I imagine the heat lamp goes under the table? You make it look so easy.:)

@GardenGuy1967, never done it , never had the need to, many pinch off the suckers, you will probably get alot more side growth and not sure I would recommend it since I haven’t ever done it before..

@dianemummvideos If i pinch it off at the top will it produce a bushier plant??

@GardenGuy1967 , well I haven’t grown a tomato from seed indoors and keep it in, but I do know it will grow more leggy … You may want to try and grow a smaller variety , such as a Determinate tomatoes they do not get as big and branch out as far.. Definitely worth a try..

I am from Canada and am thinking of growing tomatoes in my basement for this winter. I have a similar set up to yours with shelving and flourescent lighting. Have you ever tried this and did it work. Thank you.

@dianemummvideos Thanks! I’m pretty new to starting my own seeds and have yet to really get comfortable with anything. I’m getting there though. You make it look easy. I tried using a south facing window last year and had pretty good success with my tomato plants. I was so proud. Some other seedlings seem to always get really stringy and eventually die due to “damping off”. So I think I need a grow light, and a good quality seed starting soil and a heating pad to improve success. Thx you, Jim

@mhpgardener , Hey Bobby, yes try and keep it simple, next year I will cut down on tomatoes so I don’t have to throw so many out.. such a waste! You are lucky to be able to grow in fall/winter in the greenhouse, good luck and look forward to seeing them..:)

@Whadsupgator1 , I transplant to individual and 6pks. Transplant stage should be when they develop their first 2-4 leaves. I fertilize at transplanting stage sometimes, but do give them a few waterings of fish emulsion during their growing time in pots. Use what you are comfortable with.

I got my tomatoes started also for the fall planting. I should be putting them outside in a few weeks. Thanks for the video. Suzi

Great video, I know I planted too many tomatoes this year, just because I started them from seed. I am over run with tomatoes. Which might be fine for some people, but I don’t cook that much any more. LOL

I’ve started transplanting mine into buckets for the fall/winter greenhouse. Keeping it simple too, only 3 varieties this time. Rutgers, Big Beef, and Heinz 1439. I like starting in bulk containers too, especially for quantity. Its just much easier.

Just started some silvery fir tree, totem and roman tomato seeds. Growing indoors this winter (in New York). Only started 4 of each seed type and all but one of the roman seeds sprouted after about 3 days. I just put the seeds in rockwool and put them in a small tray with a transparent cover.
Hoping that I can transplant 2 of the strongest seedlings of each type into a 5 gallon bubble buckets next weekend. Right now they are only about 3″ tall and roots are not showing through the rockwool

Hi Diane,
Once your tomato sprouts and you have them growing well. Do you transplant them from the flats to individual pots? If so at what point do you do that? Also, when do you fertilize them and with what?
Thanks! Great video!
