Preferred rootstock for scion vigor, from generic seed packets? (excluding Maxifort, Estamino, Arnold, etc)

I'm thinking about what you might expect to find at Walmart.

All stem tomato.. Optimizing photosynthetic area in the hopes of supporting a single tomato... pinch the tip?

Best way to grow petunias or similar annuals in large quantities in small spaces?

They only need to survive long enough to produce a single bloom to check for variegation before seed collection.

I'm just curious what the most efficient method is?

I have a 72 cell tray with a humidity dome, but I was curious if there was a better way?

I have a 4x2 grow tent with a 200w light 60w light, as well as three 15w lights to daisy chain for seedlings.

How to grow petunias from seed in such small cells? I just need a single flower per plant.

I found a greenhouse in the STL area who had some absolutely *phenomenal* petunias. (not pictured)

Genuinely, I had never seen healthier petunias. I was shocked, and sad I didn't have more money.

But I saw this tray with petunias and other plants in it. i marveled at how small the cells are.

And it got me wondering, can I grow petunias, from seed, in this tray long enough without needing to up-pot, to reach the flowering stage?

I have a 4x2 grow tent, so maximizing my space is an absolute must!

Has anyone seen this before in a plant? There seems to be enough photosynthetic tissue to keep it growing, but I'm unsure if flowers will even form if the leaves look like this.

It's either a cherokee purple or black krim.

I'm not home at the moment, but this was either Black Krim or Cherokee Purple.

We had some crazy wind a week or so ago that crimped the stem, so I buried the plant in a new pot with hopes of rooting, and put a humidity dome atop the pot.

I cant wait to see what the tomatoes look like, if it produces any!! I'd be happy with a *single* tomato.

Hello!

I purchased this Supertunia Giant Pink from a local garden center, specifically because it was so much larger than the others. These leaves are approximately twice the size of the other Supertunias present.

I'm trying to make sense of what I'm looking at.

Is this a mutation that occurred when this stem was first growing? Is it confined to this stem? There is new growth at the base that is much closer to what I'd expect to find in a petunia, underneath these massive leaves.

The larger growth is *ridiculously* fragile. I broke multile midribs getting it home and taking pictures. I haven't really tested the smaller growth at the base, as doing so risks breaking more leaves.

I haven't yet seen a flower, but the petals already seem thicker than the other petunias i have on the patio.
