No Freddy, you need to wait until they flower and the first set of tomatoes are actually on the plant. im not sure about all this feeding, I have fantastic cops of tomatoes, I have fed them twice and watered quite rarely even though the weather has been very hot.
i learnt that years ago from one of the top chefs who grew his own for his restaurant. He was interviewing a gardening assistant and he asked him about feeding tomatoes, the chef said he didn’t t want anyone who was forever feeding and watering as all you get is watery hard skinned tasteless tomatoes.
