Hey /out/, first time growing anything ever, hoping I can get some tips growing tomatoes.
It has been surprisingly difficult, i have no idea how much to water them in this heat and it seems like the soil is either bone dry or so wet its causing root rot.
Pic related.
The cherry tomato on the left has been growing extremely slow, it just put out it's first blossoms and might have an issue with white-flies. I dont know why it's growing so slow. ( i got it at about that exact size from walmart early august )
The heirloom in the middle is just starting to do well. I was sure it was going to die because most of the leaves had spots and white fuzz for awhile. It also has tiny red bugs under lots of it's leaves, i think these are spider mites but i have no idea.
And lastly the beefmaster on the right we got because the celebrity in front was dying, probably from overwatering (when i pulled it out of the ground the stem below the ground was completely hollow, like a straw). I noticed the leaves on this guy are droopy, slightly purple and all of the blossoms it has formed die. I got this plant from home depot looking exactly like it did in the picture.
Also: I've sprayed both the cherry and heirloom with pyrithrates and sulphur but it really doesnt seem to help and i worry about it hurting the plant.
thanks
