Answer 1

May be shock. Too much water will turn the leaves yellow where they meet the stems. Also could be lack of sufficient and proper lighting. You should have used Miracle Grow garden soil to plant them in. If you used the wrong soil, that could also be the problem.

Answer 2

Hmmmm,
Tomato plants in the fall.

Okay, well they are probably getting too much water. When "tomato's" are very young, as with any seedling, they are prone to over watering and root rot. Grow these young plants in small (2") pot, like peat pots if you prefer organic gardening, or small clay pots. Once the plants get larger, move them to even larger pots. Again, if you are an organic gardener, use alot of composted cow manure in your soil.

Also try less light. Run your lights 10-12 hours. I think that may be causing part of the problem. You can increase that to maybe 15hours as the plants age and grow.

In the mean time, get them some fresh air, that will help dry out the soil. You'll probably loose 20-50% of the wilting plants. By the time the "tomato's" get to the point of wilting there is considerable damage.

I hope that this helps
Good luck-

Answer 4

Tomatoes indoors? In the fall? I have to give you an " A " for effort. If for some
reason, you don't have a good harvest, please don't let this discourage you
next spring. Sorry I have no ideas.
