I have grown my own firework tomatoes from seed. Now the plants are full of juice, have flowers and are about 2 meters high. But now I've noticed that the flowers always get a kink/bump and the stem behind the flower turns yellow. This will never produce fruit and I don't know what to do. Does anyone know this problem and what can be done? Greetings
The plants don't look very healthy to me. Are you watering too much or are they suffering from drought? I'm guessing too little water. Do they have enough nutrients? So what are you fertilizing them with?

Thank you very much for your answer. You are probably right. I water them too little rather than too much. I fertilize regularly. With liquid products, horn shavings and horse manure. Yesterday I read that the fertilized flowers fall off. Are you familiar with this problem? I tried it with an electric toothbrush. Lg

When the flowers are fertilized, they will eventually fall off and the tomato will slowly grow. I have never pollinated my tomatoes myself, it's done by insects and even the wind. You don't really need to help, so good luck!
Tomatoes also love the sun. Are your plants on a balcony without sunlight? I can't really see that in the photos, so perhaps you could place your plants closer to the railing so that they are exposed to the sun?
