Greetings all!
I'm running peppers in 8 waterfarms (all individual) and they look great!!!
I'm running tomatoes in 4 waterfarms (all individual) and they look like crap!!!
Same everything. The tomatoes get very weepy and begin to slump way down...then they die. The peppers flourish. We've tried romas, better boys, homestead, cherry, grape and slicer tomatoes and none of them do well.
Any ideas?

plant them deeper in the grow rocks [i use lava rock, but whatever] since they may not have a big enough root system to wick up the moisture. I have a cucumber that during the heat of the day, wilts. The one next to it is fine.

other than disease, and better boy is pretty resistant, im not sure what it would be.

the peppers tolerate dryness lots more than the maters ever will.
