How to grow tomatoes from seed and when the plants sprout it is pretty darn cool!
Eventually they will sprout, I water them when the soil is almost dry at this stage you want to keep the soil moist. Also, plants like water that has been sitting out for at least 12 hours. This prevents the water from being too hot or too cold. Sometimes, my sprouts get kind of limp what is happening is the root system is weak they need to be touched at least 3 times a day like wind. You can gently run your hand over them and this will keep the root system pretty strong.
Once the plants have reached a good size you can plant them out side usually after any potential for frost is gone. The best way to do this is to slowly introduce the plants to the outdoors usually over the span of a weeks time a little at a time starting with an hour then maybe two hours the next day, three hours and so on. If you do not do this the plants will die because they aren’t yet accustom to the outside.
When you plant them out side they require watering in the morning or evening on hot sunny days. Another tip when you plant the plants outside, crumble up some clean egg shells and put them in the dirt under the root system that way the plants slowly get calcium over time helping the plants get the nutrients they need and that is how to grow tomatoes from seed!
