Hello all,
I started planting tomato seeds(Harzfeuer) for the first time in my life in march. I'm pretty proud of them, cause all of them hatched and are growing strong(on a east facing window). I picked a few of them apart, like a month ago(when they were growing their first pair of tomato leaves/ there was not enough place for them anymore). They were planted in a mix of tomato earth and sand (I read pure tomato soil could burn their roots😱). Some of them are starting/having their second pair of tomato leaves and dropping their sprouting leaves/first pair, I read that this is normal and to be expected. However now some of them seem to have low hanging leaves and I'm worried. Nothing bad happened until now and I would like to keep it that way, or start treating problems before my plants are dying😭

I had/have similar problem with some of mine. I use Plant Parent tool and tried to use my brain :). The app thinks it might be over watering and that very well may be true, your soil looks dark, is it wet? hows your watering? Mine was a bit on soggy side, when I pulled them up, I also realized that the containers they were in were getting a it too small for their roots, so I uppoted them in bigger cups, and go lighter on watring, let it dry up a bit. Also i had some minor yellowing on older leaves non baby leaves – the baby leaves yellowing/falling off is okay, but if you get real leaves go bad, that’d be more cause for concern. I started feeding them a low balanced feed. Will see over next few days how they look.
Lets see what other more experienced tomato experts say.
