Hello everybody,
These are some tomatoes I grew from seed, started them indoors around February and put them in the ground around April (possibly later, they did get a late start).
I gave them some fish emulsion fertilizer a few days after transplant (which helped them get a lot bigger), and then hit them with some Trifecta+ (5-11-5 I think) about two weeks ago. I gave them the full dose, what they recommend for once a year (I believe about 1/4 cup per plant). That was about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
The flowers on these girls look great, but for some reason they aren't producing many or any tomatoes. I have 8 tomato plants in all, looking overall very healthy, but I have only had about literally 6 tomatoes come in (4 of the Sweet 100 or similar variety, and 2 currently growing in on a larger variety).
I believe the varieties are Vinson Watts, Coyote Cherry, Brandywine, and a couple others I can't remember. Is it possible that my nutrients or pH are off? The plants overall look very good and are about 5-6 feet tall on average.
Also, some of the plants show minor tan / drying up on the edge of the leaves. This looks like sun damage to me, but any second opinions?
I recently switched my drip microsprinkler setup to the Antelco downward-spraying type (https://www.dripdepot.com/item/ante...WwwtvIe_wLTwZFZ8MKDK0RxjuCdb0qyxoCSb8QAvD_BwE), which the uneven spacing may have lead some some dry spots on the roots. Any thoughts on that?
Pictures attached for reference. Thanks.
