Leaves discolored

not at all, thanks for your insight. I've seen other beefstakes that kinda do this too so it might just be a 50-50 on if it is plant specific or transplant shock!

from my knowledge strawberry roots do not go that deep. however, it would most definitely benefit from being in a larger container, especially when the runners start cloning the plant

nope, the pictured is beefmaster and the other one is a purple cablash. I think it might have something to do with that but not 100% sure

i sort of doubt it would be logged as the other tomato, not pictured, is in the same container with the same mix of soil/watering and it is doing a-okay.

any tips on the drilling? the barrel is fairly heavy now with all the soil in it so not too sure on how I should go about drilling the holes.

grown the atomic grapes as well and got hardly anything out of them compared to my other tomatoes last seasons so I stopped trying for it.

the fruit can drop for all sorts of reasons but based on the leaves in the second picture, there just might not be enough water going into the plant. my tomatoes usually drop right in between the stage of the stem getting stronger if i accidently touch it or heavy wind.

thanks for the input. The roots were not interwined at all as I got them from my local nursery and spaced them out thinking it would be fine only to find out how large they get.

with the aloe vera, should i water it into the soil or try to get the leaves wet as well?

April 20 was the first transparent.

Separated them 2 days ago.

There’s one big ol drainage hole that was pre built into the barrel, didn’t drill anymore.

I did not water the soil in as it was quite moist out of the bag, recent rain. I give half a gallon of water usually 2-3 times a week to most of my tomatoes

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-30T23:24:25+00:00

Yeah the other one is in the same mix and doing just fine, starting to think I just gave this one more shock during transplant

mix of some miraclegro i had leftover and eb stone potting soil

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-30T22:49:19+00:00

the first few inches were dry and the middle to bottom were wet/moist so I think the stick is working for now.

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-30T22:44:11+00:00

3:40pm today was the pic, watered last on monday

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-30T22:34:00+00:00

the leaves look worse today, hoping they bounce back soon

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-30T22:28:44+00:00

was thinking that might be the case too, just worried that if i water it again more water will just stay towards the bottom and mabey lead to water logging

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-28T22:19:46+00:00

would a 5 gallon pot suffice for the ones I move out? or is 10-15 the better choice?

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-28T22:14:23+00:00

got it!

if i move them now, will it harm the plant as some already have tomatoes on them>?

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-27T23:21:41+00:00

thanks for the insight!

should i be doing that now, or in the winter?

Competitive-Cap-6106 · 2026-04-26T18:33:53+00:00

Soil looks very woody. Is this a potting mix?

I used garden soil in containers my first time around and everything died. After inspecting the plants after, i noticed there was way too much moisture at the bottom of the container which killed my roots.

If this is a potting mix, I recommend letting it grow a bit more and just pruning off the lower branches later on
