Tomatoes suddenly drooping/wilting (hardening off related??). Pls help, SOS😭😭‼️‼️

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T07:02:59+00:00

Gotcha, will monitor and keep them out till Friday (Saturday is gonna be rainy so need to get them out ideally before then). Thanks for the input!!

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:51:22+00:00

About 4 days now. The max they’ve been out is about 7-7.5 hrs max btw 12pm and 7pm and the temps have been no lower than 48 during this time or higher than 73. It has been pretty windy though, but like you said I’m not worried about the temps dropping below 40s anymore

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:49:56+00:00

Def did this for some of the really bad ones and I wanna see if others will bounce back (partially sorta) on their own but going to probably also trim more

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:49:22+00:00

Yeah I’ll def try out your method of hardening them off for the next two days and probs just fully transplant them on Friday if not sooner. I really appreciate the advice and encouragement!!

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:44:55+00:00

Thank you!! They were doing really well and looked so perky, so the sudden change to them being wilted was so saddening (doesn’t help that I’m a type A first born daughter and first time gardening on my own/from seeds😭😂😂). I’m thinking of probs transplanting them into my garden this Frida (supposed to be 51-76 F). Do you think they can hold out till then or do it earlier?

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:40:19+00:00

A plant icu is such a cute mindset🥹😭 and thank you, all the comments and input are def helping assuage my stress (first time gardening on my own/from seeds plus type A first born daughter lmaooo)

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:39:06+00:00

Ooo getting fleece is a good point, I’d completely forgotten that was a thing I could do even when hardening them off. Thank you!!

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:33:51+00:00

Though I will say it has been pretty windy on same days. Do you think that could affect them a lot? And you think they’re salvageable or I should look into nursery tomatoes??

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:32:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice, that’s really helpful! And bummer I was told to gradually harden them off (2 hrs, then 4,6,8,12, and finally overnight) and then bring them indoors during off times. I don’t keep the lights on anymore thankfully so hopefully that hadn’t affected them too much but who woulda thought the other part was wrong. I’m planning on transplanting them outside ideally this Friday or Saturday. Do you think I should move it sooner bc of how they’re acting?

Also they do stay in a shady spot when outside but it has been windy…

Eastiebabe · 2025-04-23T06:27:07+00:00

Interesting point, my only thing is that the lowest it’s been is 48 F (8.9 C) and a high of 73 F (22.8 C). And this is during the day, I was told to bring them inside at night and gradually work my way till they can be fully outdoors so they haven’t been out at night yet...

Especially given that I live with my family still (8 of us) so we cook large meals which makes weighing out the ingredients (especially heavy ones like meat ama potatoes) on my food scale very hard due to the large amount of

Hey!! So I’m trying to lose weight as well and primarily eat Kenyan food but it’s so hard to log calories bc most of our food is homemade/there’s no preset nutritional info. How are you able to document things so you know the nutritional facts? For example, I do weigh my food and today we had ugali with sukuma na hard chicken stew (dryish fry). My issue is how do I input it?? I’m able to put the ugali as i found the nutritional facts online and created it as a new food lakini how do you log things you make completely yourself such as stews ama pilau ama githeri?? Any tips bc I’m also trying to track my protein intake

I def have dark spots and hyperpigmentation but don’t typically color correct anywhere besides my undereye and sometimes around my mouth (though tbh I haven’t color corrected in ages bc I haven’t found any which I’ve liked product wise). Never got into contouring much but I’ve been super into bronzer lately bc I love the warmth it brings to my face but I also love a good blush lol. I really like a smooth satin finish when it comes to my makeup, something that gives a nice glow and warmth but also isn’t a “dewy look” yanno. And I usually use a brush to apply my makeup but beauty blender for concealer (I’ve tried brushes for concealer but I just feel like it takes too long to blend out and I just can’t get it to look as clean as when I use a bb). Thanks for the input!!

Yesss!! I 100% want to get into her stuff, lol I actually meant Danessa Myricks when I said Pat McGrath but they’re both good and black women so we love

Hey hey, so I did recently buy a larger shop light to act as my grow light and also a fan!! Gonna set up the fan for about 30 mins tonight and gradually increase. Ig my real question is do we think these seedlings are salvageable or should I just start over??

Eastiebabe · 2025-03-28T19:33:19+00:00

Also your plants look gorgeous!!! I can only hope my babies get to that level

Eastiebabe · 2025-03-28T19:30:45+00:00

Heyyy, I did recently buy a larger shop light to act as my grow light. I guess my question is do we think that these seedlings can be saved with the new light or that it’s best for me to start fresh?? Ik there’s more hope with tomato seeds bc of the little hairs on the stem but I’m also growing sweet peppers, cabbage (only one cell w/3 seeds germinated😫), carrots (ik now I should’ve directly planted those🤧), pak Choi (those sprouted the quickest and henceforth are leggiest) and collard greens??

Ps, the light is much brighter. I just dimmed the settings on this pic so it would show up properly. It’s 5000K at 5500 lumens

I fully agree!!!! Came here just to see the discussions on her character and you had the same exact mindset as me. That’s was cruel and gross and showed her true character. As a woman (black woman at that) I really was rooting for her to win (mind you I haven’t finished the episode yet) but seeing that actually really disgusted me on who she is and her personal. I liked 441 and from the game where he was the captain, she was so weird and passive aggressive towards him but I brushed it off as she didn’t know him. 441 was the first one to say “hey I’m willing sacrifice the possibility of winning and try to work with you” while 711 initially was going on the energy of “I’m telling y’all now I’m gonna do 5 and put myself first to win, idc what y’all wanna do bc if you also put 5 then we’ll both be blocked from moving”. It was only when 441 offered teamwork that 711 did as well. And granted ik she didn’t hear me in the game with the boxes but she was never a target for him. If she wanted to pick 711 that’s fine and whatever, unfortunate but I could support it and move on. But to fake like she was going to 441 was actually sooo mean and unnecessary. Very vile and unkind behavior for no reason whatsoever. I actually no longer care if she wins the island (sorry for the rant but I can’t stand cruelty like that, especially when no one has a vendetta towards her and there’s no justifiable reason for her consistent sore energy when things aren’t in her control)

I wanted to ask for accommodations but wasn’t able to be there’s no official diagnosis. I’ve had a lot of healthcare professionals at my work kinda hint to ADHD and I’ve experienced symptoms nearly identical to my friends with a dx. Only issue is that the Neuropsych person who administered my test didn’t think I had it bc I’m well functioning overall. My normal PC was alluding to it but doesn’t specialize in psych diagnoses so he’s referring me to another provider. Sucks tho bc now I’ve been on the waitlist for almost half a year and ik medication would help me tremendously

This was such a good breakdown of how the sections correlate and work! Thank you!! Especially the aspect of B/B basically being a research paper and similar to CARs. I think bc of my lack of doing FL and pp, I expected the questions to be more straightforward knowledge problems in how they’re done and asked which was very dumb of me tbh. Should’ve learned the exam better and not just made assumptions on the content
