I have several in 4-inch square pots very much the same size and looks at Root Loops' seedlings. I will plant a few in my garden and pass a few more out to friends.

Default Potato Leaf?

I apologize for the bad post earlier. I posted results above on the wrong site. My results for the CHP x Pineapple are as follows:
  • CHPxPineapple - Planted 5/2 germinated - Look Healthy
  • PineappleXCHP - Planted 5/3 germinated - Look healthy - one is potato leaf

So they're all moved to individual cells and aren't looking too bad. 3 more weeks and they'll go in the ground.

The cotyledons are spent but the new foliage is coming in good.
As it turns out, I got 100% germination... 36 for 36.

Hi Marc, Do you have more seeds? These two types are my favorite tomatoes because the fruits are huge. It will be too late for the spring here in TX, but if you have more seeds I would like to try for fall planting

Planted four seeds marked CHP female F2 2013 and five seeds marked Pineapple female F2 2013. All germinated. One of each planted.

Marc, I forgot to tell you I did receive the seeds and they are all nicely tucked away in their seed starter beds. Should be coming up any day now. It's been so long since I posted pics here, I need to refresh my memory. Wish there was a way to just upload directly. The way I previously did was to go to another site to upload and post a link to there.

Good, glad you got them and hope you have good germination success. Most of the folks who have started them have done pretty well.

Good luck
