What is wrong with my tomatoes? I have the same varieties growing in containers in my back yard, and they’re doing great. These ones get 6+ hours of full sun per day. We’ve had a LOT of rain recently, so they may be a bit overwatered (but again, the ones in the back yard are doing fine).

nutrient deficiency, most likely due to some problems with the soil, as such young plants do not need any fertilizer yet. Maybe the soil is more like a rotting compost and sucks off all nitrogen.
Without more information on what soil you used, how you water them, what you feed them, or what daily temps are like it’s hard to say as there are a number of reasons that this could be happening.
If your plants up front are doing well are they older and more established plants? Do you water them at the same time? The small plants are in big pots and don’t have deep roots, you’ll have to keep the soil moist compared to a larger plant that will be able to reach all the way to the bottom of the pot
And if they are too wet, they don’t have enough foliage and won’t be able to drink fast enough, definitely take them out of the rain because the splashback of the soil is also really bad for the leaves.
Probably just stress. Real question why 4-5 plants growing twisted together. Separate them or chop off all but one. Tomato’s are very resilient if you give them time. Not everything has to be fertilized constantly or even checked. They grew before us and will likely be here growing after us.
What type of soil are you using?
Blast that baby with triple 20 and she’ll be fine
Another Coco grower with growing problems. An experienced Coco grower should make a post of what to do and what not to do. Seems like the vast majority of growing problems as of late have been in a coco medium.
Might be stress, but the brown spots on the leaves could also be the signs of blight. Which is disease that tomatoes suffer from if the foliage gets wet. Best to take them out of the rain.
To be honest, not all of my seeds from the same tomato are growing well, even in the extract same conditions.
I’d separate that and add more dirt. They’ll perk up
Definitely a nutrient deficiency. They look starved of nitrogen.
