I'm growing 5 types of tomatoes from seed and all look good except a variety called
"Anna Russian". All of those look spindly and the leaves curl under giving them a droopy look.
They've been grown under the exact same conditions as the other tomatoes. Any ideas of what is wrong would be appreciated.
Not familiar with that variety, but there are several like "Silver fir tree" that have spindly foliage. droopy and curly can be normal as well... does it perk up after watering?? :-\
I'm having a similar experience with a variety called Amish paste, the leaves are very droopy and give the impression of needing watering, but they're receiving exactly the same as the other variety's in the greenhouse?
I don't know the varieties are they indoor or outdoor varieties?
All I can think is you may be growing them in reverse of what you should i.e. outdoor as indoor and vice versa.
Just a thought! ???
John Miller said he thought it was the variety and that some just look droopy.
The seed packet didn't say anything a bout it being an indoor variety.
Actually I've never heard of "indoor" tomatoes.
Watering doesn't change its attitude one bit.
It is supposed to give birth to one pound tomatoes but it is so spindly that will be a shock if it succeeds.

Sorry! Bad choice of words!
I meant growing under cover/glass e.g Greenhouse as opposed to outdoors on the beds.

Yes, I understood you meant greenhouse but didn't realize they'd bred toms just for greenhouses. I'm excited to see how some of these do- the Black Krim have huge double petaled flowers compared to the other varieties.
