I planted 5 plants that I grew from pips. They are all strong vigorous plants but three have flowers and some fruit but two have nothing. They almost look like different plants with slightly different leaves but they all came from the same tomato.
I would try repotting them and adding more soil to the mix, giving them a larger lot of soil to draw upon. Definitely use a larger pot, like double the size. Stay away from enriched potting soils also, so if it is a high nitrogen issue, you're not adding to the problem.
Remove all the suckers that grow close to the main stem and be careful to not make the soil to rich. You want the plant to kind of stop growing and concentrate on what is already there, if that makes sense.
Too much nitrogen makes a plant put on lots of new growth, but you want the plant to basically stop growing so much and start fruiting instead,
Tomatoes need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight. Try moving them.
It sounds like they are not getting enough light. A lack of adequate light is one of the main reasons for non-blossoming, as the plants require anywhere from six to eight hours of full sun to produce blooms and then fruit. ... If the tomato plant has too little water, they may only produce a few flowers and then drop those flowers.
You should see yellow flowers on your tomato plants at 5-7 weeks, and soon after that you should see some of those flowers turning into little green tomatoes. How long have these been planted?
Im also having problems, every heirloom tomato I started from seed (Shumways) have not produced flowers, but I have 4 tomatoes that I bought that are flowing. All in a greenhouse, plenty of sun and water. A mixture of organic garden soils was used to build up height. Raised beds about 9 inches high. Im still hoping all my seedlings will flower, they are certainly big enough to flower.
my tomato plant does a slightly better job, it produced lots of buds, but it would just drop off several days later by wind. I touched it and it would also drop easily.
I put it in a pot with balanced nutrition, water it normally, and sunlight at least 6 hours a day.
