    Hi
    Some of my tomatoes plants have started to wilt pretty bad.

    They are due to be planted in GH. I had to repot them recently as they were getting too big for their 9cm pots and have fed them liquid feed also.

    It is happening to the biggest plants for the most part.

    Are they doomed?

    I think I should have moved them to a bigger pot sooner but they have not improved since

    It looks too wet...

    It shouldn't be sitting in water like that - unless very recently watered? Let it drain and just keep it moist. Hopefully it will recover if there's not permanent root damage.

    Thought that was a possibility. Have probably overwatered in last couple of days as I thought it initially was being caused by not enough water - prob just too small pot and out of food.

    Thanks
