Frequently Asked Questions
What pests or diseases commonly hit Solanum lycopersicum (Sweet 100) and how can I control them at home?
Watch closely for tomato hornworms and aphids; check the undersides of leaves weekly and remove hornworms by hand, then spray aphids with a strong jet of water. For disease, manage early blight (brown spots with yellow margins) by removing infected lower leaves and watering at the soil line instead of wetting foliage. If blight keeps spreading, use an appropriate labeled fungicide for tomatoes and rotate products to avoid resistance.
How often should I water Sweet 100 tomatoes during the main fruiting phase?
During active flowering and fruiting, keep soil evenly moist with about 1–1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm) of water per week, split into 2–3 sessions if the weather is hot. Aim for steady moisture—irregular watering can trigger blossom-end rot and fruit cracking—so the top few inches dry slightly between waterings but the root zone doesn’t dry out. Mulch around the plants to stabilize moisture and reduce swings.
