Tomato's: What is meant by, "Feed when first truss is set"? Is it when the first flower buds appear or when the flowers open or when you see the tiny fruits formed behind the flower? In other words what signifies that the truss is "set"?

Sorry, correction to my post.
The last word should be "flower"
"It means feed when you can see the little fruit start to form and grow behind the flower."

A "Truss" in this context is that side shoot with fruit on it. "Set" means when the flower has been pollinated and the fruit starts to develop. It means feed when you can see the little fruit start to form and grow behind the plant.
