When replanting any tomato plant, plant them a couple of inches deeper than they were in the previous pot to get the feeding roots under the soil.

Use tomato food once the first fruit have started to swell.
Yes they are Indeterminate plant's and Thank You for the advice, has they are already growing vigorously I have them supported by cane's now
