Watering frequency for tomatoes

[ddurk751]

I live in Georgia and this is my 3rd year for planting tomatoes in my Earthbox. This year I started watering more frequently and I'm seeing blossom end rot on one of my first tomatos. I planted my box with soil from last year and used everything in the replant kit. I have also been adding the Calcium Nitrate once a week as directed. I'm wondering if I'm watering too often. I have experienced blossom end rot in previous years, but usually not until closer to the end of the growing season. Any thoughts? Thanks

Well first you can't over water. Many years the first fruit will develop BER even with all the recommended amendments.

I believe many times the BER is started in the transplant production phase.

It develops long before symptoms appear when the tomato fruit are the size of a dime. It can also be found in some varieties and not in others.
