image.jpg image.jpg Happy growing everyone. This is my first time growing up in the garden state an I'm becoming impatient. I've nursed these babies for months now and as I get closer and closer to reaping the benefits of my constant vigil I'm getting more paranoid. The first few months were easy. My babies were infants. Easily hidden. No intrusions of any kind, man or pest.

But now, that my babies are all grown up danger lurks around every corner. Literally an figuratively. They are all after my lucky charms. First it was the ground hog eyeing them up. Them I noticed a worm on them. Do the neighbors notice how much attention I give my "tomato" plants??? Why is he looks at them wit a magnifying glass? These next couple of weeks have me terrified. So close to the finish line can't stumble now.

Just wanna put it in my bowl an give a big middle finger to all of them. To the Feds. To the cartels to the groundhogs an worms. The list goes on.

Needed to vent. I wish all an uneventful next couple of weeks. I've posted some pics an appreciate any advice.

welcome to the growing world. remember when people said farmers liver long lives and it turned out to be a lie. growers are a worrisome lot. ha! for plant height look at lst, mainlining or other techniques.
most of all, enjoy that first buzz!!

Any idea what the strain is so it can be looked up for flowering time? If not you will have to go by trichome color...
imo the plant needs 3 to 4 more weeks. Some sativa strains need to go 12 or more weeks of flowering to mature.

I know it's super exciting to see it just chillin on the branches in your grow but patience is definately a virtue in this game . Just be super patient and do your homework on when to harvest while you wait trust me .......I harvested way to early my first few times and it's worth the wait also drying and curing takes a lil time to so much patience is needed good luck

They look close but still got a while. Patience is a virtue and your "tomatoes" will be ripe when mother nature allows. Id say 2-3 weeks tops. Im a east coast fellow tomato enthusiast as well. Check the trichs and watch for the white hairs to stop being produced and most of all enjoy your hard work my east coast friend

To the OP: I grew up in Boonton. I was in NJ last month...

Keep an eye on your weather, watch for frost and below freezing temperatures. You are further down than I am, I check my ten day forecast frequently, I'm in Wyoming which has weather as flaky as a box of Wheaties. We get snow in July sometimes...

I agree, based on the pics, you have probably at least 4 weeks to go. If you just can't wait, in about week you can cut one or two SMALL branches, then learn how to trim, dry and then jar. But definitely don't cut the whole plant yet.
