This morning, one of the flowers fully opened (and a second is just about to open). I decided to accelerate the process and make the final transplant today.

All the babies are in their 'forever homes' - yay! I'll post a picture after they recover from the arduous move.

Awesomeness! I can't wait to see!

We gave a lot more seeds out to folks promising to grow and report progress. Please can we hear a bit from you all when you get time?

Today I planted two KARMA Pink seedlings on the bed. I will grow them like all other tomatoes on one stalk.

Thank you Vladimir, it's very exciting to see our babies growing in the Czech Republic.

Here is KP in the container. As you can see, it will get plenty of food and space. Treating my KP as a queen.

This is so gratifying to see.

OMG!! The first KARMA is here!!!! Happiness abounds

KarenO · May 9, 2018

Oh you guys, thank you so much for posting your photos! I wish I could tell you properly how happy it makes me to see it growing in so many different gardens by so many different gardeners.
I planted my own outside today along with the other 4 KARMA variants which are a generation behind at F6. Looking forward to my first taste in about 4 weeks i`m guessing. The KARMA pink has been consistently early for us and mine are starting to bud up.
excited to see more updates as time goes along and am especially interested to know your opinions of the flavour

How many are you growing?

PureHarvest · May 10, 2018

10 days old from sowing.
100% germination (4 seeds sown).
Germed in Promix High Porosity blend, no fert.
I have watered them 3 times with a diluted solution of the 3 part fert from hydro-gardens since they've sprouted. This would be the rate for seedling plants cut in half or 600 ppm.
One of these will go in a 5-gallon grow bag with Promix Hp and get daily feeds of the hydro-garden formula.
2 will go in a 75 gallon plastic stock tank filled with HP, and I am going to apply chicken manure based granular fert (4-1-8) in the mix along with Epsom salt.
I will water-in calcium nitrate from time to time along with sulfate of potash.
The 4th will probably go to my dad. He uses compost and Neptunes.

They're quite large for only 10 days from sowing. They look quite strong too, very nice job. Sounds like they'll be well cared for.
