Grow tomatoes that actually ripen
-
Plant them deep.
Bury two thirds of the stem. Tomatoes root along buried stems, which doubles the root system.
-
Give them sun and support.
Six hours minimum, and a stake or cage from day one. Adding support later damages roots.
-
Water at the base, deeply.
Soak the soil, never the leaves. Irregular watering is what splits fruit and causes blossom end rot.
-
Pinch the side shoots.
On cordon varieties, remove the shoots growing in the leaf joints so energy goes to fruit.
-
Feed once flowers appear.
High potassium feed weekly. Nitrogen before flowering gives you a beautiful plant and no tomatoes.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
