THANK YOU! I have been searching and searching for an explanation on how to tell the difference between the 2 types of tomatoes. I totally messed up and forgot to label them. Best video!!
The only video that explains the 2 types of tomatoes by looking at the plants. I just planted my tomatoes from regular tomato fruit seeds without knowing which type. And I needed to I know how to proceed with pruning. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.👍
@@TheGeekgardener i have some tomato seedlings with thier first leaves how do i care them like how much water should i give or does they need full sun right now plz replay
Thank you for this valuable information bro you're the first person to explain clearly what is the difference between determinate and indeterminate plant thank you so so much
Thanks for such a simple explanation. I have grown them for years and always thought it was difficult to find out until it stopped growing vertically, but I have never actively looked at the growing tip. The only confusion are the ones called 'semi determinate' like one I am growing now called Cornue des Andes, an Italian type. This puts out loads of side growth like determinates but still retains a growing tip, but the habit is much weaker than a true indeterminate and it runs out of steam at about two metres.
Thank you so much. I have been looking for a detailed explanation to know the difference. So many video on pruning the suckers but not many well explained one to identify which type of plant it is.
Seriously amazing information! I don't know if I'm at a point in my home gardening life where everything you say rings the bell or what! I've been binge watching your videos (in the middle of the night, lol) and I am gaining so much information!! Thank you for adding the tiniest details that is making so much sense! I'm going to look for a carrot video. 😊
Bravo. My hubby told me the difference is in the height. He is the gardener in the family but I am taking more of an interest now that I'm in my 70's years young. Thanks. I won't tell him how you explained this so clearly with a video. Now I won't feel like such a dummy.
At first I thought that my tomato is indeterminate because they growing quite tall and thin, not really bushier but, I take a look carefully that they are stop growing tall and every sucker has a flowers and finally I realized that is determined. Sometime some determined variety don't really growing bushier
Good observation. Please note that there are few varieties that are semi-determinate. The traits you are saying are similar to the ones i have read about semi-determinate
@@TheGeekgardener ow wow. I just knew about that.. This is new to me because this is the first time I hear about semi-determinate. Really good information. Btw sorry for make you confused because my previous comment is Linda hard to understand because of my autocorrect of my keyboard typing. I just edited that to make it more clear haha
I bought a pack of tomato seeds that was a mix of a couple or more varieties. After taking them home to start my seedlings, I realized it said on the back that some were determinate and some were indeterminate (and I realize now I should have figured that out beforehand but I think I grabbed them in a rush). So when I realized I had both kinds in the same pack I realized I had an issue: how the heck am I supposed to tell which is which? It’s obviously important to know because it totally changes the layout of the garden, knowing whether they need a trellis and how tall they will likely get. Now here I am trying to figure that out. Is there any way I can figure it out in the early stages of growth? My tomato plants are 6-12 inches tall roughly, and have to go in the ground may 30th because that’s the planting date but also is when my schedule is free for me to plant them.
Very good explanation thank you just one question... What would happen if you cut the top of the stem off on an indeterminate so it doesn't grow any taller
Thanks for comment :-). When you cut off an active growing tip of an indeterminate tomato, the branches/suckers can grow in its place. The vigor may be slightly lesser. I have by mistake cut off the main stem before.
I’m really still not sure which mine are, and they’re still quite young. Only about 1-2ft tall so far. If I see on my plant that some flowers have already bloomed and some are now starting to produce fruit while there are also completely new flowers forming that aren’t even close to blooming, is that a good indication that it’s indeterminate? I’m also growing in pots by the way.
I need to know det/indet types in order to pot them in the right-sized pot. So, ind ends in a leaf, but det ends in a flower, which is a dead end for its growth. Is that right? I think you have just saved some of my seedlings from an early death. Many thanks!!
Hi, I have been watching your videos on hydroponics. I have setup a small unit also on my terrace. I find that the nutrient being circulated gets evaporated. And plant use etc. I have to top up every three or four days. Now I am using 2 packets of nutrients from the store you suggested. Is there any better as well as evonomical nutrient you can suggest. Please help
Transpiration water loss is acceptable and inevitable too. But water loss due to exposed surface should be avoided at all costs. Also, Gardenguru has a larger commercial packaging incase you are interested, please write to them at sales@gardenguru.in
Do you give training for hydroponics growers? I am in the learning phase and executing with limited knowledge. I have started growing in grow bags and coopeat+perlite+vermiculite as the growing medium about 2 months back.
Do indeterminate ones end up flowering higher up than bush varieties? I have a couple indeterminate but I haven't grown veg before, and they are nearly as tall as me but only have a few flower trusses quite high . Is this normal or telling me I did something wrong below? Also, I'm wondering once those trusses have been harvested will any more fruit grow on that plant?? If I cut the truss off, how can it flower again? Thanks!
I dont know man. I've seen indeterminate top themselves like that. Even on determinates I agree it happens more... but then you get a suck and it continues on. One of my indeterminate had its entire head ripped off by a deer, decapitated. It just sat there for 30 days in shock, leaves got curly. Eventually it sprouted 2 suckers from the middle of the two top most leaves, showing cells thst form suckers are everywhere, stem cells. A few weeks later, like 30 suckers exploded from two 2 arm pits... the plant is freaking out at this point, lol. Also of note, I grew 30 indeterminate and 30 determinate romas... my romas are insanely huge and just keep growing. Like everything is getting to be about 12 feet.
My point is, plants are adaptable... and indeterminate, determinate, early, late, etc... much of this is unfortunately likely marketing terms except under the most ideal of conditions.
No. It's not possible to tell. Some varieties have different leaf shape/ traits. Those can be identified from true leaves but your still won't be able to tell if it's determinate or indeterminate
Semi determinate are plants that will grow little taller than your regular determinate plants. but they are not truly indeterminate. They will evetually stop growing.
Still doesn't easily identify the difference. That determinate tip you pointed out looks like a leaf node and you didn't even show the tip of an indeterminate. You pointed the camera below it. And both varieties will have flowers that come off the side of the stems. I'm not sure how this actually helped anyone.
Yeah, I was thinking we are only able to find out when it is already too late with determinate ones.😂 I have messed up the labels and have some Roma in the mix and now I've lost patience and rough pruned all the suckers at 2 feet and put them to root just in case. They all have started rooting, so I can hopefully start new plants of determinate ones that aren't skeletons 😂. Dear me I am so co fused. I had flowers left right and centre 😂 and definitely around the top because that is where the plant grows, logically. I have a mix of Romas, San marzanos, Big Tom F1s, Thessalonikis, Costoluto Fiorentinos, and a cherry type god knows. 27 plants and counting, thanks to me being unsure. 😂

Thank you! I was wondering what type my volunteer tomato plants from my compost are! Now I know :)
Thank you for this valuable information bro you're the first person to explain clearly what is the difference between determinate and indeterminate plant thank you so so much
Thank you for clearing that enough in terms that i can understand. Bless you.
You are very welcome
I was literally thinking the same thing!!!! I have to go out and chk all my tomato plants now and stake them appropriately LOL
Thanks my dear was the easiest and best explanation yet😍

Just don't call me cause I'll immediately hang up 🤣
I need to know det/indet types in order to pot them in the right-sized pot. So, ind ends in a leaf, but det ends in a flower, which is a dead end for its growth. Is that right? I think you have just saved some of my seedlings from an early death. Many thanks!!
Yes. You are right. Glad to know this saved few plants. Happy gardening
Thank you, so I am looking for indeterminate plant so I dont have to keep planting every 3 months . well explained
Glad it was helpful! Indeterminate ones are the best isnt it?

Is there a way to tell before the branch gets full grown?
Sir seminis ansal is a determinate or indeterminate variety? Pls tell..
It is determinate.

No. It's not possible to tell. Some varieties have different leaf shape/ traits. Those can be identified from true leaves but your still won't be able to tell if it's determinate or indeterminate
what about seeds marketed as semi determinate
Semi determinate are plants that will grow little taller than your regular determinate plants. but they are not truly indeterminate. They will evetually stop growing.
Where did u get the seeds??
Pls tell me determinate variety tomato seeds
Determinate varieties are available very easily. You can also take the seeds from the store tomato and use it
What about semi determinate?
Please can I prune determinate plants, like inderminates
No you shouldnt prune them. Instead you should support every branch that is bearing fruit.
Sir please help me to get these indeterminat verity of tomato
Please how can I get indeterminate tomatoes
Still doesn't easily identify the difference. That determinate tip you pointed out looks like a leaf node and you didn't even show the tip of an indeterminate. You pointed the camera below it. And both varieties will have flowers that come off the side of the stems. I'm not sure how this actually helped anyone.

I have a mix of Romas, San marzanos, Big Tom F1s, Thessalonikis, Costoluto Fiorentinos, and a cherry type god knows. 27 plants and counting, thanks to me being unsure. 😂
So you cannot tell the difference when there younger? Only when there older and beginging to fruit?
