Try flushing it through with more watering??? Toms can take overwatering.

First question: are they flowering yet?  If not, then don't yet feed, but water well.

If they have any flowers, then follow the instructions, and feed once a week; when they have toms on, then feed twice a week.

Second question: are you watering enough?  In this weather, you can't water enough.  Remember, toms are fully water logged.  Also, if you snap a branch of a tom plant off, water should come out, which means they are being water plenty - which is good!!

Is the first truss of tomatoes set?  :blink:  You don't feed until it has.  It should pick up, I doubt it will do it any harm.

[flitwickone]

wow speedy responses thankyou no they have not flowered nor has the first truss set

so  i will leave the feed alone
i hope they survive they are my first toms

Step away from the Tomorite.

It is not unusual for  plants to wilt a bit if they get a bit dry on a sunny day. Wilting lowers the surface area of the leaves before they lose too much moisture , they normally revive within an hour or so of being watered.

once your toms have started to flower

 and you see little pea sized tomatoes

then you can start feeding ,

we feed once a week and water once a week

say water every tuesday and feed every friday,

good luck

I water my tomatoes every day when in full growth, sometimes twice a day - depends how dry they get.

[digalotty]

dont worry aunt sally i think he is allowing for rain on the other five days

mine would die with Peter's regime!

[flitwickone]

thankyou all for the info they recovered during the night
all three plants will be going into a 18inch hanging basket and hopefully cascade down wards with cherry toms a lesson has been learnt 

[Babstreefern]

My toms get watered twice everyday, especially hot sunny days.  First watering of the day is at about 7:30am and then at about 8:00pm in the evening, certainly never once or a week, mine would be dead if I left it like that

[mumofstig]

watering only once a week would be ideal for blossom end rot  ............o and split skins when you did water
