How often and how much water do tomatoes need? There is probably no perfect answer to this question, but our team has created an informative watering guide to make using the GRAAS watering system as easy and efficient as possible.
Each tomato plant needs an average of 20 to 35 liters per week, but weather conditions, soil quality and growing method can greatly affect this number. Tomatoes should be watered abundantly, but rarely. On cloudy, cool days, water requirements can be cut in half, while on hot, sunny days, you may need up to 50% more water. To ensure the best growing conditions, we recommend maintaining an appropriate soil moisture level.
Your growing method also affects water requirements. Growing tomatoes in the soil will require more water, while bottomless pots will require slightly less water. Average soil humidity should be between 60% and 85% during the day and between 65% and 75% at night.
In order for tomatoes to grow big, healthy and beautiful, you need to water them very often, using a small amount of water. That is why, with the GRAAS watering system, this responsible work will be extremely simple. By determining the appropriate soil moisture level, you will ensure the optimal growth process of the plant and reduce the possible risks of various diseases.
Inadequate water and soil moisture levels can cause severe and rapid damage to the tomatoes you grow, but this can be quickly detected by visually inspecting the plants.
Yellowing leaves, root rot, mold, cracked fruit skin, slow growth, and poor odor are probably the main indicators that tomatoes are given too much water. The easiest way to avoid this is to reduce the amount of water given to the plant and ensure proper ventilation of the greenhouse. If the soil is very wet, you can replace part of it with new, dry soil.

Tomato cracked due to insufficient water.
If the amount of water is insufficient, the soil will dry out, the growth of the plant will slow down, and the tomatoes will begin to develop. Their leaves will shrivel up, curl up, and dry up. To avoid these unpleasant effects you will need to increase the amount of water administered. Do this gradually - with slow and regular increases in the amount of water administered.
