I am growing some Yellow Pear tomatoes, and i wonder if someone could please give me some advice.
The plants are young, and currently growing in an Hydrofarm, which is inside my residence. It just has a plastic dome on top, which is removable. My tomato plants are about 2" high and the middle of the plant looks very healthy, and appears to be growing very well. The bottom two leaves are however, slightly drooping, almost touching the soil. In it`s current progress, does it seem that the plant is thriving and doing well, or is the start of something going wrong ?
Thank you.

Get that cover off. You really don't want to increase the heat and trap moisture like that.

Agree. The domes are supposed to be used for germination only and must be removed once that happens. And it sure looks like it is being over-watered too.

Oops I see you are using some sort of hydroponics. Then I'd suggest you check in with the folks in the Hydroponics forum here for advice. Growing hydro is unique, a totally different thing than growing in soil.
