hi.. my experiments with potted plants

Fertilizers I am using..

1. Npk 15:15:15

2.Npk foliar 15.15.15

3. Neem based organic cake

4. Soil with cow dung as potting mix

Is this a healthy looking plant in such a small container?

I think container or the pot need to change. Proper water distribution to your multiple pots and measuring the water level of your pot/s by using dipstick can maintain the ratio of your plant's basic needs.

I would like to refer the irrigation system pots not only for you but for all the indoor and outdoor gardeners.

The plant looks pale and weak, in my opinion, but certainly not the worst I've seen, given the size of the container. Is this a determinate plant?

That is not a happy looking plant.

Very fortunate to have 3 tomatoes. Not healthy imo.

IMO it's not that healthy but it could be related to having been allowed to make 3 tomatoes.

In general, I remove the first one or two times of flowers forming to let the tomato plant create a better root and branching/leaf setup before allowing flowers to form and be pollinated.

You can google up images of a roughly 12" tomato plant and see how much different they look compared to yours. I'm estimating yours at around that height, including what looks like the main stem that is bent over.

Definitely I needed bigger container but for experiment I kept that plant in such small one.. I am generally using 12"for tomatoes.. But leaf miner is eating my leaves all day.. Though they not interfere with yield.. But it's not a good looking...
