Frequently Asked Questions

What pests or diseases commonly hit Solanum lycopersicum (Sweet 100) and what should I do first?

Sweet 100 tomatoes are especially prone to early blight and leaf spot, which show as brown spots with yellow halos on older leaves. Remove and discard infected leaves early, avoid wetting foliage when watering, and spray a labeled fungicide at the first spotting stage if the problem persists. Watch closely for tomato hornworms (large green/striped caterpillars) and hand-pick them at night, then check plants again the next morning.

How often should I water Super Sweet 100 during peak growth (after flowering begins)?

During peak growth, keep soil evenly moist by watering when the top 1 inch of soil dries—typically every 2–4 days in warm weather. Aim for deep watering at the soil level so the root zone is soaked, not the leaves, and avoid letting the soil swing between very dry and very wet to reduce cracking and blossom-end rot. Mulch around the plants to steady moisture and cut down rapid dry-outs.

How do I tell when Super Sweet 100 is ready to harvest?

Harvest when the grape-like fruits are fully colored (bright red) and feel firm but not hard, usually about 60 days from transplanting to harvest. Pick clusters often—every 2–3 days in warm weather—because Sweet 100 tomatoes ripen in waves and unpicked fruit can delay new set. If you can easily twist one fruit free without forcing the stem, it’s at peak eating ripeness.
