Do you have to time your tomato to be ready at the time of an official weigh-off, or with tomatoes is it weigh when ready on certified scale with witnesses? Just curious as to how GPC runs this.

You can enter with early submission form to the gpc, but yes most try to set a good one for the weighoff- count back 45-50 days from date of weighoff and hope you have something to pollinate. If too early, tomatoes less than half red will store at least a few weeks if need be.

The early weigh off will accept entries upto September 30th of each year.
- after that date, if you had a tomato you wanted listed, it would need to be at an official weigh off.

You can have 3 tomatoes listed via the early form (and can submit more, but biggest 3 counted) - more than that and you need the official weigh off.

You can bring a green tomato to a weigh off. Rick Spaziani brought a green 6.66 pound tomato to a weigh off last year.

I won Stillwater weigh off with a 3.61 green tomato last year LJ. Bring big ones to a weigh off even if they are green.
