Most tomatoes are great but a few look like the one in the photo. Very strange streaks that weaken the skin. Ideas?

Uneven water supply.

Wouldn't that effect all, not just some of them or does it depend upon uptake to that location of the plant?

If my tomatoes start turning red and it rains, I gather the tomatoes. They take in water and the skins get tough and crack. Maybe their is another solution.

Some will crack and some won't. Like above poster said, if rain is on the way gather any that are blushing. I do.
