First time growing a lemon drop cherry tomato variety. My weather is typically in the high 80s/90s and night times over 79 degrees at night with high humidity. I think it's the night time temps that cause bad blossom drop rates. I typically have a 50% drop rate here even with manual pollination almost every day. What I did notice was whenever I have a single stem plant, the drop rates lessen. Also, this has motivated me to use heat tolerant varieties in the future. The lemon drop sets fruit better than the supersweet 100, sunsugar, and the sungold for me. However, the number of clusters is a lot higher with the other varieties.
