 Tomatoes?

I hope no one gives me hell for asking about Tomatoes, but I am sure someone here can help me. Anyways I was just curious if anyone has experience on two things. #1 can you tie down tomato plants and basically light train them to keep there height down? And also I was wondering when you would switch from bloom to flowering nutes? Do you do this whenever you transplant?

Yes you can train them down, that's not a problem at all, although I find that the stems do like to snap so be very gentle.
Not sure on the nute schedule man, I only grow tomatoes outdoors. Hopefully someone will pop up to let you know more about that.

Im actually growing them outdoors as well. I have extra pots and foxfarm soil and nutes and just figured I would give it a try when I saw some Tomoto plant seedlings at the store. Does growing outside change something with nutes I don't know about here though?

By outside I meant in the ground. I would start giving the bloom nutes when you see them starting to develop tomatoes.
What nutes are you giving them, I know foxfarm, but which ones.

Perfect, keep in mind tomatoes don't need as much as weed, from my experience anyways. Growbig should be used with every watering, half the recommended dose. Grow every 2-3 waterings. I never used tigerbloom with tomatoes so just make sure not to over use it.

not to thread jack but I was thinking of doing some tomatoes also. will they grow ok under 12/12? I really don't have room in the veg cab.

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

The plant I got and all the rest said they need 6+ hours of full sun daily. So I would think so
