Attracta is a new F1 hybrid tomato bred for serious production in controlled environments. This indeterminate variety races to maturity in just 58 days from transplant, making it one of the faster hybrid options available. Johnny's Selected Seeds describes it as flavorful and prolific, which means you'll get both quality fruit and impressive yields across a long season. It thrives in tunnels and greenhouses where you can fine-tune growing conditions, though it adapts to field cultivation as well.

Attracta combines speed with abundance, reaching harvest in under 60 days while maintaining the flavor depth you want from a tomato. The indeterminate growth habit means the plant keeps producing through the season, and its responsiveness to trellising systems makes it ideal for intensive growers managing vertical space. Its resistance to Fusarium Wilt, Leaf Mold, Nematodes, and Powdery Mildew protects against the diseases that typically derail tomato crops in humid, controlled environments.
Attracta works for fresh eating and cooking alike. In greenhouse and tunnel settings, growers often harvest fruit in trusses for market sales, where the uniform ripening and consistent quality command premium prices. The prolific nature means you'll have fruit for sauces, salads, and storage throughout a lengthy harvest window.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 7 weeks before your transplant date, maintaining germination temperatures of 73 to 77°F. Provide supplemental lighting to keep seedlings strong and prevent leggy growth, especially if starting earlier than usual.
Transplant into soil that has warmed to at least 62°F. Set plants deeply, burying the stem up to the first true leaves to encourage a stronger root system, unless your transplants are grafted, in which case plant with the graft union sitting above the soil line. After transplanting, maintain 73 to 77°F day and night temperatures for 5 to 7 days to promote rapid establishment. Space plants 24 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart.
Attracta reaches harvest maturity in 58 days from transplant. Pick fruit when fully colored and slightly soft to the touch. In greenhouse and tunnel production, you can harvest fruit in trusses, removing entire fruit clusters at once for more efficient picking and packable presentation. Regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and production throughout the season.
Train indeterminate plants to one or two branchless leaders onto separate vertical strings using trellis clips positioned roughly 1 inch below every third leaf. Keep strings taut and reuse clips from the bottom of the plant, maintaining at least 3 to 4 clips per string. Prune leaves and clusters strategically to manage disease pressure and maximize fruit production across the season. If you have the infrastructure and labor for a long season, consider a lower-and-lean system where you gradually lower the plant down the string as it grows.
