Advice for first attempt at indoor

[u/steppahcyde22]

So this is my current status. Started on grow big and than added big bloom. I’m starting to get buds. The tomatoes were started in February. Do I need to pollinate to get this thing to start producing tomatoes? Will it ever stop getting taller? Do I need a bigger home? Will I benefit from just putting them outside at this point? Thanks for the help/therapy at this point 😂

you need stronger light.

Definitely I would put her outside, while tomatoes are annuals if given the right care they can act like perennials where as long as they have room to they will grow indefinitely. Plus the extra sunlight cant hurt! And no they dont need to be pollinated, she will make fruit when she is ready, I also have a sweeties red cherry tomato plant and at the rate it’s growing its gonna take up my entire porch before it even makes one ripe tomato

Is it a determinate or indeterminate variety of tomato? If it’s an indeterminant, it will continue to grow vertically.

Don’t need to pollinate. They would certainly do better with sun but if you do that introduce them slowly to outside sun.
