Tomatoes seedlings are developing their true leaves. They are still in the mist chamber but I will be pulling them out of this section soon so I can harden them off. Yes, even keeping them in the greenhouse it is still advised to go through a hardening off process. Mainly the shock to these plants is the change (reduction) in humidity from the mist chamber to the actual greenhouse environment. So, I will try and keep them in an area of low intensity light so the stomata can have a chance to regulate the water loss. Luckily tomatoes are fairly drought tolerate so I do not think there will be much of a problem, but I want to keep them at peak performance.
