thanks for responding! i pruned the lowest leaves but maybe i didn't go up high enough? what's an ideal height that you'd recommend? i did purchase a cheap meter off amazon, but was honestly not sure it was working...after watering it still showed that it was on the dry side so i assumed it was inaccurate/poorly made... but maybe i'm just underestimating how much water tomatoes REALLY need
