HCR failing

[alabill]

I planted about a dozen varieties. All are doing well (5 in high, nice green leaves, solid stems )except the Husky Cherry Reds. These are stunted and yellowing. None have dies as of yet. These were started and cared for exactly like the rest.

Why would one variety fail like this? What steps would you all take for a recovery?

Husky red cheery it a bush type tomato.
I have found that these types of plants dont seem to do as well with the same treatment.
From my experience they need to have the water cut back on them and they should perk up.
That is if they are all in the same tray and getting the same dose of water.

It may be divine intervention. I grew Husky Cherry Red once. It was the most tasteless cherry tomato I've ever experienced. But one man's trash is another man's treasure. I grow Sweet Quartz now.

I grew Husky Cherry Red last year. While I agree is isn't the tastiest tomato in the world it tasted ok to me, and it was the only tomato plant that survived my Winter.

I'm in the process of rooting 2 surviving suckers from the remains of last year's plant and will grow it again just because it was so hearty. Plus the plant remains compact and did great in a pot.

Good luck with your HCR.
