How long does it take for tomato plants to produce flowers?pls answer...(cram mode)?

This depends on what tomato variety you have. In my experience,





I have supersweet tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes) this year and it took around 100 days for it to start producing flowers then 25 days later, it ripened enough to pick and eat. My roma tomatoes took around 120 days to start producing flowers and 140 days to ripen. My marglobe tomatoes (reg tomatoes) took around the same time too: 100 days and 120 days to ripen.





If you started with seed, the seed packet should tell you how long it takes to produce fruit. In my experience, it takes around 100 days to form flowers and 20 days from pollination to fruit. I hope this helps.





Here are some pictures of my tomatoes with timestamps:
