A few of my cherry tomato leaf tips are a little yellowish. I started to fertilize with quarter strength of fish emulsion and seaweed fertilizer every week once the plants started to show true leaves. 2 weeks ago I increased to half strength and last week I forgot to dilute and I used full strength and sprayed on the follage as well. Could I have over fertilized? My tomatoes are 7 weeks and I grow them indoor near the window. They received 6 hours to sunlight daily.
I always tell gardeners not to give an adult dose to a child. Your plant isn't a seedling but it isn't full grown either. Fertilizer burn is real. Your leaves show minimal signs of trouble so I'd water with plain water for 1-2 weeks and go back to half strength fertilizer. What does the container recommend? The manufacturer wants you to have good results (and buy more) and they've tested their product.
last year both my cherry tomatoes and full size tomatoes were attacked by massive hornworms. I had raised beds in the yard as well as large trugs on the deck - used bagged organic soils for trug and raised bed bagged soil blended with our soil which is acidic. I read somewhere that borage deters those hornworms- true?
It can help, but they will eat if they find a food source. I don't like to recommend specific products, but for cases like this, I will.
Foxfarm has a product called Force of Nature- Miticide. It is completely organic and works for a broad range of pests. It is what I use, personally, and the only thing that I have used since I started using it pre-release to the public.
Spray the plants once per week, or whenever you need, as it won't harm any plant.
I use it around the home, as well! It kills on contact.
Planted early may and are still purple and green skinned and green inside. None are red.
Midnight Snack tomatoes are ready approx 68 days from set out.
Temperature, watering and sunlight can all effect ripening.
If so, How would I do it?
They 'can'. Cherry tomatoes are not the best canning variety, but they can be canned just fine.

Why are my cherry tomatoes splitting? I am adding a teaspoon of calcium nitrate once week. I’m using an earth box.
This has everything to do with environment. This happens when it is suddenly watered after it is too dry, or not humid, and the soil is dry.
Try to keep the soil consistently moist with only a slight dry out between waterings. Spraying in the early morning can help, as well.

4 years ago I planted 6 cherry tomato plants in a raised garden bed along with a few other plants including some basil. At the end of that season I pulled all the plants out and disposed of them. Due to family issues that garden bed was then forgotten. The next year I noticed what looked like about 10 small tomato plants in that same garden bed. I ended up with the best crop of cherry tomatoes I had ever had. Believe it or not....every season since then...and I do still throw the plants away at the end of every season......I have had another self generating crop of cherry tomatoes. Just for interest sake the originals were grown from seed. How many years can I expect to keep getting self generating tomato plants in that garden bed?
These are notorious for dropping tomatoes, and thus, seeds everywhere. This can happen for a very long time. It is hard to say when they will stop. As long as there are strong genetics, good fertilization practice, and more than one plant for pollination it could support tomatoes almost indefinitely.
As long as you keep the soil in proper condition, you can see volunteers come back every year for years to come.
The only drawback is that disease organisms may build up when same crops are grown in same spot year after year.

At the beginning of the winter I left my tomato tree outside for the 3 days. I had to cut the vines and cut the leaves because it was getting brown and it looked like it was dying. Now the stems look like hard wood. Did it die ,is it possible for it to regrow. It's a cherry tomato tree.
Tomato plants do die back in the winter, but if you've kept it potted indoors, you could possibly see it sprouting back when spring approaches. Make sure to remove the hardened stems and dead leaves. If the roots have not survived the winter, the plant will not regrow.
