Change.

Posting this here maybe it will help.
It may seem I am going off in a direction not related to gardening or tomatoes but hang with me if you wish.

As an example I had a brother that had a drag car.
69 Plymouth Cuda with an alcohol burning big block motor over 500 cubic inches.
Here is how it relates.
When tuning that motor he would change something and t wouldn't work.
So he would leave it that way and change something else now it is ever worse so he would yet change something else to no avail.
He was a real hard head to say the least.
Starting to get the pictuer.
When you are trying to improve something and it isn't working go back to where you started from if you can.
Yellow Stone is an example of people getting involved where they shouldn't be and ruing the system.
They made a change and then another change and it snowballed on them.

Back to that race car.
I ran him off put everything back to where it was made just ((one)) adjustment and the car ran so fast it darn near jerked his head off at the line.
The front end came off the ground about 3 feet.

When gardening look at what you have done.
Ask yourself.
Did it get better?
Didi it get worse?
Or was there no change?
Use controls to do this if you can.
Don't let your mind play tricks on you because you want to think that expensive cure all really worked you spent so much time and money on.
Don't pass on information if you haven't tested it yourself for proof.
Or you can really trust the source you got it from.

If you have a problem or an idea dont do it to every plant.
Test it on a few.
See what happens.

Things like sun, water, temperature, soil and fertilizer are at the top of the list.
Last but not least toss old habits and think outside the box sometimes.

Happy gardening and happy harvest.
