Biggest tomato I have ever started from seed! I’m so pleased.

I have been growing tomatoes for 5 years and this is the first year I have been diligent with fertilizing and also got stronger grow lights. It is a Costoluto Fiorentino from Territorial Seeds. I have so much hope for this guy!

I’m in zone 6b, Pittsburgh. I just put my tomatoes into 2qt nursery pots. They have been in 3” containers since I sowed them on 3/20. Definitely needed an upgrade! But with my wire shelving it’s hard to raise the light any further. Should I rest it on the top shelf where my canning stuff is? I guess the wire in theory will block some light. I just posted them up yesterday and today so they haven’t had time to be stressed by it. It’s 2 LED grow lights shop light style. Each has 2 bars. 50W (I guess it’s about 25w per bar, so 100W total?). Started wayyy too many this year. 16. Should have stuck to 10 or 12.
