What are you fertilizing with? At this point in their growth, make sure your fertilizer has a higher ‘middle number’ in the NPK of whatever you’re using.

They want Phosphorus right now for blooming and fruiting.

Any ‘tomato’ fertilizer should give you what they need.

Also - if the plants themselves are looking puny - are they getting enough sunlight? 8-10 hours a day is what they need.

Grow More 10-52-10 fertilizer and I add tbs. fish emulsion (5-5-5?). I scored the Grow More from my F-I-L when he passed.

The plants are anything but puny. And they’re not the tall spindly over-nitroed kind either. But they were severely chopped in a hailstorm we got. It looked like a machete came through the patch. But they’re fine.
