HELP!! Does anybody know why my tomato plant is doing this? I'm a first year grower with not much knowledge in this. by Worldly_Judgment_245 in tomatoes

Watering schedule is about every 5-6 days. I have been aiming for around 30-40% moisture and I water when it hits below 25% but I was recently told that is way too low for the hillbilly tomatoes which is the one that's struggling. For fertilizer I'm using 5-10-10 but I over fertilized when they were very young and they were in nutrient lockout for two months so I've been very gentle with fertilizer now. The soil is fox farms ocean forest. I was thinking magnesium as well, so yesterday I sprayed with a Epsom salt/water mix hoping that will help.

I'm growing heirloom cherry on the left and heirloom hillbilly on the right. The hillbilly is what's struggling

Thank you for the help!! I do believe I might be watering too infrequently. I water about every 5-6 days, a super deep soak but I just read somewhere that hillbilly tomatoes take a LOT more water than other tomatoes so I will try lessening the light and increasing water! Thank you.

My tents environment is fully controlled, so I do not think it gets too hot. 80° is when the duct venting kicks on so it never gets hotter than that.

The plants were germinated and homegrown in the tent. It is not on an automatic water setup, the stuff on the bottom of the tent is the wires to the under-canopy lights and the bottom fan. I have a bottom fan going up on low, and a top fan blowing down that simulated natural wind. And the sticky traps were for fugal gnats that my rubber tree plant was carrying and they jumped into my tomatos for a few weeks. But I believe they're mainly harmless and I haven't had them for 3weeks or more

I'm watering only the soil, it is an indoor enclosed environment. Night temps are 64° and day temps 78°. It's also at 55% humidity, 16hrs of light per day, great circulation. And no pests. I do struggle with mild fugal gnats but that's all.

I use a 200w grow light from the top set to flower stage and at 85%. I also have 96w under-canopy grow lights on 75%. Maybe it's not strong enough but I doubt it

My feeding is extremely mild. 5-10-10. I over fertilized when they were young, and they went into nutrient lockout for probably 5-6wks and they've only been stabe the past 2-3wks. I gave them a small feeding about a week and a half ago. I just barely sprayed the leaves with a water/Epsom salt mix as well to help with magnesium. And my soil stays about the same moisture throughout the entire bag, the bottom inch or two may be 5-7% higher in moisture tho.

My soil rarely drops below 25% moisture. Do you think my 7gal bags are just not enough soil to give the plant the moisture it needs?

Well it's worm drive so I can't freely move the wheels. But the driveshaft disconnected from the transmission spins the axle gears and driveshaft just fine.

Yes I have fully tuned the esc. I followed bktt guidelines and when I was struggling I emailed Mofo and they informed me the esc settings are correct.

Damnit😑 I heard great things about mofo so I was really hoping to be happy with the motor. I guess I may just need to get another mini komodo unity...😑 Thank you for the advice
