Answer 1

if watering in the day time while the sun shines was a problem, the majority of plants would not survive.
i am going to suggest two things.
1) water slowly. when water runs out of the bottom of the container stop. go back and do it again 15 or 20 mins later. and then again, several times over. the soil has possibly dried out and is only absorbing a small amount. after the soil is thoroughly saturated you will only need to water every few days (4-5) to keep it evenly moist.
2) look under the leaves for insects. if you find some, treat immediately
3) normally there is some leaf drop.
hope this helps.

Answer 2

It looks like early tomato blight. Try to keep an even moisture in the soil, moist but not soggy. It won't respond to any chemicals, so save your money on those.

Answer 3

You must be watering them in the daytime when the sun is out try and do it in the early moring or very late night also water them with tomato food once evey two weeks and check for insects on your tomoto plants leaves, fruits and flowers
