I have 4 different varieties of tomatoes growing. blue beauty looks sad but others like blue berries variety is looking healty. They have growlights on 18h/Day, same watering same dillutes fertilizer. Any advize?
Tough to say. If the soil is always that moist, then it’s too moist, let it dry back more. What wattage are your lights? You could download the photone app, cut out a piece of printer paper to a smaller, easy to handle size. Use the paper as the filter over your front facing camera. Then determine what PPFD you’re getting at the canopy level from your lights. You want between 100-300 at the seedling stage, gradually increasing within that range as they grow.

If it’s just one variety and the others look fine, it could be that that variety is just a drama queen. I’ve grown a few that can be like that (Midnight Sun especially). They just look awful most of the time, but grow and produce fine.
