Have you been over feeding too? That would maybe cause the leaf problem because the plant cant take in water or nutrients if over fed.Feed as instructions once a week. They should be damp not wet! Are they in soil or pots? Careful with the watering tomato blight is a nightmare.

me again will they live for a week without water ?
while the compost[growbag stuff] dries out a bit
at the bottom of the pot

too much heat causes flower drop try to pollinate with a brush cold nights can have the same effect

blight is an airborne problem so keep up the watering but not flooding and close doors and vents at night if suspect blight spray with Bordeaux mixture

Hi, I water mine most days. And depending on the weather depends on the amount i give them. If the soil is wet dont water, if its damp and going to be warm then give them a little.

They will survive dont worry.

in a small greenhouse you may need to water up to twice a day 1 water 1 feed if only 1 water use feed in all waterings keep moist not flooded and if on concrete in pots use a saucer and just keep that full don't forget nutriments in compost run out after about 4 weeks

use soft camel brush touch stamens on each flower to transfer pollen just like a bee
