I ended up culling all of the megablooms on all the plants.

It’s official btw, most of my 35 tomato plants have fused this year. I planted two hybrids, 31 different heirlooms (two ea of GGWT and Karma Pink). Neither hybrid has fused.

We have had strange weather here, very warm days followed by cool nights. The plants are in earthboxes, root and veg containers and smart pots over pavement, which generates additional heat in the sunlight. Some nights the cool fog rolls in and the temperature plummets to the low 50s.

The plants that are the worst (three visible stems fused!) are the ones in the earthboxes.

I used promix HP as my medium and tomato tone. I supplement with dr earth tomato fertilizer, fox farm big blooms and great big tomatoes compost extract. I put 1 tsp calcinit down the watering tube every ten days or so.

The only soil that was reused from last year was the root and veg containers and those plants show no signs of fusion so far.

Interesting year.
