Feeding Tomato's

[gonz]

Hello everyone

Can someone tell me when to start feeding tomato plants.  It says on the bottle after the ' first truss has set'.  What does that mean?

Thanks

truss is first flower stalk, we don't start feeding properly until they have small fruits  :)

Thank you.  Some of the jargon on bottles/packets can be a bit confusing to a newbie like me    :D

[manicscousers]

not just new people, I assure you  ;D

This is not one of my best bits of photography but it might be of sufficient details to show you what is meant by the term; truss set

Note the embryo fruit has just appeared.

Thats great, thanks a lot.  1 picture can explain everything!!!!!!!    ;D

oh oh! does that mean that if someone (me) had inadvertantly fed them before this time then they may die or something
