- How to grow tomatoes plants from tomatoes. There are two main methods to grow tomatoes from collected seeds and from tomato slices. This video is purely an experiment that shows the difference between the traditional tomato seedling method versus growing tomatoes from tomato slices. For the purity of this experiment, the seeds and slices were taken from one tomato simply purchased in a grocery store. The video was also recorded with real date and time to prove that this video isn’t manipulated.
The final outcome completely debunked multiple statements claiming that the slices method is fast and effective. As a result, this experiment shows that when the seeds are simply removed from the tomato and washed, sprouting occurs within 4-5 days. They also grow much faster and appear sufficiently stronger with a much more developed rooting system. The number of tomato shoots emerging as a result of the traditional seeding method was twice as much as the slice method.
In conclusion we suggest not to use the slice method to grow tomatoes. Slices have to decompose fist. During the decomposition, rotting damages the tomatoes seeds. Under the influence of bacteria and fungi, the tomatoes produce large amounts of ethylene. Ethylene is a plant hormone that can distract and slow down the development of tomato shoots. Fungal and bacterial infection might destroy large amounts of healthy tomato seeds inside the tomato flesh.
Although it is an absolutely natural process and it is absolutely possible to grow tomatoes using slice method, it is inefficient and not recommended to use for serious tomato farming. #tomato #tomatoseeds #tomatoplanting #tomatoplants #seedlingtrays #growingvegetables #vegetablegarden #gardeningtips #gardening #garden

I tried the slice method. it worked for me. I didn't overcrowd my pot, though. I just put 2 slices and then covered with plastic wrap to keep in the moisture, stuck in a sunny spot then less than a week I had sprouts. They are doing fine, so I guess it depends on how you do it, but I did it for the first time and it was successful.
I used the slice method and ended up with a plethora of seedlings. I didn't cover pot with plastic (withholds moisture therefore encouraging rot/fungus) and I used premium quality potting mix. I had a wonderful crop of tomatoes using the slice method
she is trying to debunk that method. She covered the slices in way too thick of a layer of soil and she expects them to sprout in a short time with the seedling taking 4X the time to get through a 4x thicker top layer. The slice method is the best the tomatoes and the water in it gives the seedlings enough nutrients to grow
What I love about removing the seeds, is you still get to eat the tomato!
Yes.
Yes hahaha
scooped out the seeds from a couple of slices of tomato with a teaspoon 🥄. didnt do the fermenation method or any of that shit. didn't clean them at all just left the pulp on. 1 week later I have 30 beautiful plants. the whole thing required virtually nil effort. I would highly recommend keeping things simple.
She’s capping
I know it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Gregory Braylen flixportal :P
@Kamdyn Avi thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
@Gregory Braylen no problem =)
I have huge sprouts, like fifty from a slice of campari tomatoes, that sprouted in 3 days. It absolutely does work.
While I've heard that the tomato slices are fun to try, and certainly easier, I've never seen anyone actually claim that they are faster, or even better. The only claims I've seen is that it actually works, which it does. Some people just get a kick out of that. I think your experiment is a great way to show what most people would naturally expect (seeds promote better growth than slices), but rather than just a fun experiment, you sound somewhat annoyed by the idea that the "hack" has captured people's attention. Great video, just wish you weren't so focused on disproving something so harmless.
I got huge sprouts in 3 days. It's been 5 days now and they are 4".
i've done it with plum tomatoes and regular ones doing the slice method and got lots of seedlings in both cases. it took about a week for sprouting to happen but wasn't much effort involved.
I did it and they are superior to my seeded ones. They are lush and vibrant.
Thank you for your video. I certianly do not want to eat tomatoes that started out with mold. Another big plus for me is the seed only tomatoes grew faster, healthier and stronger. Thanks again, and don't pay any attention to the discouraging remarks of others!
thank you! love when people legit prove things. gonna plant my seeds now. :)
Thank you!! This is what I assumed, that rot would take longer and inhibit grow/damage seeds, so I was surprised to see so many videos burying slices
I used the slice method for my tomatoes that I got from the local market. I only used a thin slice and made sure to plant in near the surface and it sprouted on the 4th or 5th day. I also live in a very tropical country so im not sure if that affects the growth rate of my plants. They're doing great but I'm definitely using the seeding method next time :)
I was just about to simply throw the tomatoes, cut in half, into the soil. Thank you for doing this experiment, you just saved me a lot of trouble!
Thank you so much for this. I have been using the slice method but it always took long and I never knew why. Was just about to do the slice method again until I came across this. Will definitely try it out and see the results
Was just about to use the sliced method, but it's more natural to use only seeds, thanks for the info
Thank you for the experiment.
Thank you for the warn about the slice method being less efficient. I will use it anyway, but I appreciate the warn.
I would think there are alot more factors to take into consideration such as weather, soil, fertilizer, etc. This was informative. After watching the video I believe a person should use whichever method that suits them best & not be deterred. God Bless
Shouldve watched this before i wasted 2 weeks! I tried the tomato slice method and i also found that they were rotting. Not to mention crows would dig them up to eat lol. Last week i planted just the seeds(unwashed) and now i have about 5 little sprouts! So excited (-: just the seeds are definitely better to use
I’ve actually tried the slice method, and it does seem like it’s taking very long time for the seas to germinate. One of my pots did begin to germinate, and I noticed the ceilings look very frail, but I’m going to watch it over the next few days and see what happens. So out of about 20 small containers only one actually germinate it from using slices. I’m going to run the same experiment and see if I remove the seeds and washed them what the results are. Thank you for sharing your video
Love that you already did this experiment for me 😎
Oh hey this is awesome information. Now that you explain the reasoning it makes seems so obvious!
I just threw the slices into the pot and it took one week to sprout. Maybe next time I will try squeeze out the seeds from the tomatoes. 👍
Thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for this video! I was searching for that sliced video to make sure I did it right and came across yours and I will be using the seeds instead of the slices for sure! 👍
You are so welcome!
Very good video, I'm growing cherry tomatoes myself! Cheers from Morocco!
Thanks so much for this!!!
Very useful. Thank you
Thank you for this
I was super curious
Thank you So-ooo much for making this video!! I almost tried growing my own tomatoes using the "wait until my tomato is bad & slice it" after watching a different video!! & then I started searching for other videos & there are so many out there that say the same thing about slicing (except I only came across the one that said "wait until the tomato is bad" & that kinda didn't make sense to me hence bad seeds!)
So then I stumbled across your video & yes, while the "ripe tomato slicing" does seem to work, however I don't like the idea of them having to "Rot" before growing!!
I obviously love the seed method MUCH BETTER!! so, THANK YOU!!
But, I do have two questions, when do you take the plastic off & keep it off? & Can I grow these indoors, continually year-round? I live in Western, WA. So, I don't want them to get too cold & die off. & can I do this same method with Cucumber seeds, Strawberries & bell peppers?
I have given you a thumbs up! 👍I have subscribed, and will be checkin' out your other previously posted videos! 😁
God Bless You!!
You're doing good things!! 😇 🙌
Compelling evidence that planting the seed in the tomato is inhibiting sprouting by leaving it encased in the sprout inhibiting enzyme that seeds are encased in when inside the fruit. It appears this enzyme needs to dry and not removing it entirely actually minimizes overall sprout rate by the looks of your top down photo.👍
I agree with your findings, I did it both ways and the slices simply rotted and killed the seeds
Thank you for this video ❤
Do you water in between the days?
This proves nothing as to weather one method is better than the other but thank you for showing your results
I ended up with a lovely tomato from WM that was already sprouted when I cut it...Will your way work still?
Thank you!
Try it!
PROPS... was planning to do my tomatoes the slice-way today, after doing some more searching, your video appeared... and chose your method. Thanks for providing a side by side comparison.
I have grown from slices in outdoor tubs with and it works .. without covering
I’m still not convinced as your tomato slices were way too thick & you piled them in too close. My neighbor used the tomato slices method to grow some old yard tomatoes of mine & the tomatoes she shared with me from her slice-grown tomatoes were spectacular.
If slices method so good why farmers do not use it? Because It is wasteful and not productive.
@@Classyflowers No one claims that the slice method is "better than seed", and surely NO ONE is under the impression that the agricultural industry (farmers) will suddenly be converting to using tomato slices rather than seeds over their acres of farm land. Geesh! I think you've taken your "need" to debunk this "hack" much too seriously! As a gardener, you could just be excited for those who tried this successfully, or who may be enjoying their own little crop of tomato plants, rather than arguing that "it's wasteful and not productive". Frankly, I wouldn't ever pot up tomato plants into soil that hadn't been pre-moistened (let alone pinched back to promote strength and growth vs. height), but I also wouldn't insult you over it. Just sayin...
@@Classyflowers We are farmers and we use the slicing method.
@@vegbank3523 What varieties do you grow?
@@Classyflowers This year we will be growing.Snowberry.Honeybee.Tomatillos.gardeners delight.yellow pear.cherry bell etc.
plus the standard ones moneymaker market more.and organic dwarf varieties.plus sungold and some beefstake.everyone has to find out what grows best for them.germinating is the easy part.how acidic is your soil and how much sun are the questions to ask.
Use the slice method at the end of tomato growing season. You don't have to cover them with dirt. Put them in a cool dark basement or closet and leave them until spring when you are ready to start the sprouting of the seeds.
I'm going to try that at the end of this Summer. I have a cool dark pantry closet they could be stored in for the Winter.. Would this work for bell pepper seeds too?
As of Saturday the 13th ..4 weeks since I planted my SLICES of tomatoes..absolutely no rotting or issues whatsoever..I appreciate the experiment of seeing the different ways to grow the tomatoes but either way you do it the end result is the exact same..it's just a preference..tomatoes grow regardless and in my opinion no faster regardless of how you choose to plant them 😎 figured I'd put that out there for anyone who just wants to slice them, scooping seeds out isn't going to make any difference in you growing some beautiful tomatoes it's still going to take time to have ready to eat tomatoes 😀
Can you plant frozen seeds from the year before?
Great video
Isn't it possible that the amount of handling you did affected the slices? I placed 5 very thin slices in soil and I got sprouts after about 5 days. I didn't touch them at all.
It works, but you must let them dry out on paper towel for three days prior to planting. Also when flowers appear, flick them lightly to get the pollen in the air. 2-3 shoots per pot only.
Can you do this any time of year
Almost anytime except during passover
Great experiment thanks for sharing
Thanks for ruining my day. I just planted slices. I dumped the tomatoes out and did what you said. I hope I didn't ruin them. Thanks for you great research.
Not too late to do it right
Ty
Do I have to wash the seeds with water before planting? And tbh tomato slices are not really bad its just it takes longer than seeds to grow sprours and its kind of cheap
I wash them and dry them or plant them after washing. Seeds are already naturally fermented inside ripen tomatoes. It takes 4-5 days the most for sprouting with almost 100% rate.
i have been growing tomatoes for over 30 years. i have grown plants from seeds using both methods. BOTH methods work. you have to give them than 4 days.. that's nothing.. seeds sometimes take 2 weeks to germinate..its not how you start your seeds its about how your plants/tomatoes turn out in the end. i have had seeds take longer than the slice method to sprout. 4 days is by far not long enough to allow your "experiment" to be successful. with all due respect, you have no clue as to what you are talking about..
Sure, and what about ethylene and rotting. Can you educate me which method of growing tomatoes do farmers use? I did not see here in Canada farmers slicing tomatoes in the spring.
@@Classyflowers seeds should be kept moist not wet.. they rot because they are too wet and not warm enough.. they also need a warm place. its totally unnecessary to cover them for the "greenhouse effect". the soil needs to breathe, so dont cover it, that traps in excess moisture that they don't need.. if you use a spray bottle and give them 1 to 2 sprays a day and provide a warm spot they will sprout just fine. once they appear then you need to introduce light for at least 8 to 10 hours a day.. i use the same heat lamps that I use for baby chicks to keep the seeds warm while they germinate. seeds can germinate in total darkness, its when they start to appear thru the soil is when they need light... start the seeds about 6 weeks before you intend to plant them outside..
@@444enahs Hi, if using the seed method, do I need to wash the seeds thoroughly or no need to wash at all?I'm a beginner. Thanks
thanks for this! how often should I water after planting the seeds? or should I just wait till the 4th day? this is a first for me.. crossing fingers!
Hey how is it so far any germination yet?
So its been 2 or 3 days since I planted and there is nothing yet should I be worried
@Louis Williams thx anymore tips would be helpful
How do ik if I'm over watering seeds and if into can I fix it? I'm planting them in two cups one with dirt and the seed and the other with a hole at the bottom to make a small reservoir
@Louis Williams ur being so helpful thx so much do u no any kitchen scrap kind of fertilizer I'm trying to avoid going to stores for obvious reasons
What would be your point in debunking the methods used by others
If it works it works
I appreciate you! Why not just plant the seeds directly into the big planter first?
I think its cuz they will focus on growing roots instead cuz all the extra room
@Gold Pyramids Food & Travel Vlog The main reason for starting in smaller containers is to avoid overwatering (the most common cause of plant death among new growers).
How often should i water them?
I think 2 times a day.
When you slice the tomatoes, they HAVE to over winter in the dirt in a cool dark spot.
Without washing off the gel that protects the seed, only a third of them might sprout, if that, in a weeks time.
The gell HAS to ferment over winter, in order for the seeds to sprout the next spring.
Thank you for the video! The plastic cover (3'15") - is it necessary? I didn't see it in other videos. Can I omit this?
Sure, I used that for better humidity and greenhouse effect.
@@Classyflowers thank you :D
@@clairehuang697 You would only want the "humidity tent" on the pot to assist the seed in producing roots. Once your plants create their first "true leaves"(leaves produced after the 2 "sprouted leaves") you'll want to leave them uncovered. Keeping them covered can produce a weaker plant and can also produce root rot.
True
First time trying this method. My fingers crossed 🤞 😂
i did the slice it 6 days to germinate the trick is slice thin. I didn't think it would work either
Definitely not using the slicing method, but I think that when you went through the sliced tomato pot with a knife that might have had an effect on the results. 😅
It seems so many folks are defaulting to an attitude of choose "one or the other" -- which has not worked out well in any field of endeavor so far and now seems to be taking root even in our gardens. Why not use both starting methods, and even a few of the others such as cleaning, drying and "chilling" seeds before planting? After all, where you garden, what kind of soil, fertilizer, moisture and possibly most important what kind of weather you get this year as opposed to last year or next year will be the real determining factors. A starting method that worked great last year may not do as well as a different approach this year. So why not have a tomato patch started with several different methods and let nature figure it out as the growing season unfolds? Chances are we'll get stronger, healthier, and better bearing plants evolving out of such a mix.
Shouldn't we dry the seeds
Very flawed experiment. But thanks for sharing.
I am here became my tomatoes in the fridge. I sliced it was growing inside. I case I have to plant them.☺
Couldn't they be transferred from the sprouting to the ground instead the tray?
I have a full video about what to do next, please watch:czcams.com/video/0BooidIdo_o/video.html
Your experiment has a couple differences than the other method I've viewed. #1 they used "compost" not garden soil. The compost makes richer softer soil. And #2 you are using way more slices in a similar container than they used. Thus more rot being created rather than green growth. With al that skin and tom meat the seeds don't get the same nutrients the only seeds get. created. Maybe use a larger container and compost next time for a better comparison. And time isn't that much of an issue anyway because it will be a few wks. before to you them outside. They will probably go in the ground at the same time anyway.
You need to get the gel off the seeds... The gel around the seeds is to prevent the seeds from growing inside the tomatoes...
At the start, I thought by slices, you meant slicing off a part of an existing tomato and propagating
I grew a lot of seedlings from the slices in like five days
Nice video. Give your valuable comments to improve the quality of our channel thank you stay connected and stay blessed
I had a full tomato that was left out to where they started growing inside the tomato, now im growing litteraly half a tomato...
Yeah, im wasting time
I hope the one you grow not a hybrid, otherwise, you are really wasting your time.
Its a plain tomato
What do you mean by “plain tomato”. What is the name of your variety?
What about actually tamatoes on the plants
i don't get the seeds out with the sluge I clear em 💯 Germantion
You said you put seeds in soil? What soil, because you said you put slices in garden soil?
The problem with your experiment is you have way overcrowded your small pot you need to put one slice of tomato or cut it into quarters and spread it out so there's room for the roots to grow or they won't grow as long as wide as they could have... Also making a little mulch first how to chop up some banana or even putting a banana slice underneath. But if you overcrowd your pot like that they're not going to benefit from the space they could have.. a true experiment both options need to be the same you have one slice and one and four slices in the other you understand this right.. it's 4 and 4 or 1 and 1
Slice method works but don't dig out the seed from the tomato and wash it. Your missing the whole point of the benefit. Put the entire slice in the dirt. Sprinkle some dirt on top and water. You'll have seedlings in 5-7 days. Then you thin them out and transplant to individual larger pots. It works for me every time. The tomato pulp and skin have nutrients the early seeds need to mature quicker. Redo your experiment with buried slices.
They both work great but the slice method and even just 1/4 the tomatoes and bury em then I pick out the weak one and keep the strongest once they are about 6-8” tall I’ll take all out of pot and soak in a bucket of water to separate seedlings gently and replant em
A little deeper and I been growing the same San marizano tomatoes 🍅 that the seed came from Italy and I been growing them in New Jersey for 10 years now I always save seeds for next season but if I find a real gem I cut shoots off her and lm root em and have a garden of clones
I don't advise to take out the seeds out of the tomato,it can work as nutrients when growing like compost!,so just cut the tomato in slices and plant them😀
Seeds have all necessary nutrients inside the endosperm of seed itself. It not advisable to use raw compost for sprouting seeds, because of mold and pathogenic bacterias. It has to be completely decomposed before.
@@Classyflowers Noted!
i tried it again and the seeds was faster
I am also grow with seeds 🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗🤩
Sending them through training camp hardy har har
Don't bag them, the slices work great and have their own built in food.
I really don’t understand how people are surprised that you can grow a plant from seeds. How is this a trend? Also, you will grow a plant but that tomato will not look like the one you bought from a grocery store. Not how it works.
Hi! How should you do it? Packet seeds? Also will the tomatoes from seeds from store still be okay to eat?
Thanks! 😃
I haven’t seen anyone claim the slices are faster for growing tomatoes. Bit of a strawman argument you’re putting forward here I think. Maybe your results were affected by how deep you put the slices under the soil and how hard you packed it down. You didn’t seem to do the same thing with the seeds so your experiment isn’t conclusive IMO.
Oops I used the slice method what to i do 😂😂😂
It works just not as good as seed method.
If you do not have to do it the same way on CZcams to let it sit in a jar close it with water no this is the way I do it and I got seven plants to sprout but one died but this is the message that I will keep using because all of them germinated but one died when it was growing because they tried to transplant it and I accidentally broke the roots so this is how you do it you gravel rotten tomato that is on the ground or just go bad in your kitchen you grab a fine meshStrainerAnd then you clean the seats out into the gel looks like it’s gone and you only got the seed put it to dry overnight or one or two days then they’re ready to plant and you can plant them whenever you want so that’s how I got seven plans to sprout
What i do NOT understand is that the sliced Tomato Hack never said ANYTHING about making the Seedlings grow FASTER. I'm not sure what you are trying to DO here, seriously. SMH.
Sorry but this 'experiment' is incredibly flawed. You do not put so many slices in & you definitely do not manipulate the rotting tomatoes after a few days. Growing from a slice has worked for me - so much so that it is producing better yielding plants than store bought seedlings. You 'plant' a slice in Autumn & they will ready to be re-potted in Spring & will fruit in Summer.
how come you are the only one that this did not work for? Hmmmm compost from the "rotting" tomato as you call it would be good for it. Better try again!
i don't care about speed i want tomato
I just eat a bunch of tomatoes, and go take a pooo in the Garden. Works every time #yystle
Awesome video very scientific those videos are just garbage I'm so glad you were able to debunked that silly video!!
Thanks ❤️
Ur comment is also so sily 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You disturbed the sliced plants EXTREMELY much thats why they dont grow so good. And you put seeds from a whole tomato in the seeds only pot, not in the other.
Are you stealing the bag
Maybe slower is better.
Crinkle noise warning😆😫 great video though😍
You just seem bitter for some reason
slices work good your video is BS
its faster then normal growing in warm area indoor
Too much fussing, no thanx
too bad i didnt see this video before 🥲. next time i guess
