Tomato 'Lucid Gem'
Solanum lycopersicum
Fleshy, thin skinned, sweet slicing tomato that ripen from yellow to a deep yellow/orange with dark anthocyanin stains as they mature. Vigorous plants display good disease resistance and tolerate high temperatures. Excellent ability to stay ripe both on the vine and post-harvest. A farm favorite!

- Red/yellow interior. They ripen yellow, then more of an orange when very ripe.
- Very attractive with the black anthocyanin splashes really contrasting with the lighter colored skin.
- Chef favourite described as sweet with fruity tones. Very meaty
- Farm favourite

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
