Cherry Tomatoes Growing But Little Fruit

[joe645]

I have two cherry tomato plants which seem to be growing well but bearing little fruit for their size. I have a few tomatoes on the plants and quite a few little buds but the buds don't open like they used to.

Hi Joe.  I have never grown tomatoes so I am unable to help on this one.  However let me ask you a few questions until someone here that does grow them can give their input.

1)  Are you pollinating the flowers?

2)  Are you doing monthly rinse and refills?

3)  Are you giving any sort of supplements like Calimag?

4)  What machine are they growing in?

Do not quote me on this but I have read if they are too close together that can hinder tomato production but again I do not know how true this is.

Any pictures that you have to share that may help someone identify the issue.

In reviewing your tom project, is this the April Project? If so, the plants are most likely crowded out with 2 in a Harvest!

Do you still  have pests in your machines? Are you fiddling around with meter reading/water conditioners?

The plants are ,most likely slowing down since being planted in April. I believe they are determinate toms in the kit?
