Unfortunately there is a bit of a spider mites issue going on, so I had to get rid of some plants and harvest them earlier than intended. I did some pruning and spraying so should be under control, mostly.
Lesson learned:
-Start seeds and grow completely indoor and never bring outside to reduce chance of bringing mites indoor.
-Give more spacing per plant for better airflow to reduce mites.
-Watering need for fruiting plants were underestimated and resulting in more dropped blossoms. Use at least 8in saucers that can hold more water. The 8in saucer sold by Lowes seems to be the perfect size.
-6in wide pots seem to be adequate.
Florida Petite
Mite damaged. Fruit is slightly powdery, but not bad, still a decent tomato taste.

Picolo Gato
It has a more chewy but tender texture, and nice tang to it without being too acidic. Very tomatoey flavor that satisfy the desire for tasting fresh garden tomato in the middle of winter.

Fuzzy Wuzzy
Fruits are only barely coming out, but I notice a nice determinate characteristic. It has a lot of stems, looking to be producing a lot at once, if you measure the height from the soil surface then they're at 18in but is not getting taller. I put them in 8in wide pots which turn out to be a good decision. Make sense to grow something like this for a bigger indoor harvest.

Tiny Totem
Also at 18in, but the plant is taking up more space and less compact compared to Florida Petite. Strong sturdy main stem. Also drinks more water than typical micros.
