Did you take a lot of leaves off the tomatoes? I usually strip most of the lower leaves, and stick them in dirt so that many joints are in the soil.
Hi Greeneyes, I keep both my tomatoes and pepper plants bottom trimmed in the garden for the first 12” or so, so the peppers I’m trying to save were about 4’ tall and I trimmed them down to about 18” tall with some leaves. I was just watching a video on YouTube where a gentleman removed 100% of the leaves and two weeks later had a lot of new growth under grow lights, might try that on two of the peppers. As for the tomatoes I only saved 6 suckers and clipped them back pretty good, two look sad but the other four might make it - all are cherry varieties.
