NMoasis said: You don't need fertilizer specifically labeled for tomatoes. You just need a general balanced product and use it according to instructions. Tomatoes need a steady supply of nutrients. Tell me what the two products are that you have and what is in them.

Water the soil from the top, do not water the leaves. Saturate all of the soil. Do not allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Very soon you will need a larger container. What type of tomato it that... determinate? Indeterminate? Dwarf? That determines what size pot you need. Generally, unless it's a dwarf, the smallest recommended container size for a tomato plant is 19 liters (5 gallons).

Finally, tomatoes need to be in full sun for at least 8 hours a day.


Yeah the full sun is an issue since it's been getting colder lately.. I'm not sure what the types mean, but they're supposed to be a container/pot type I think? I gave the ingredients for one of them and I'll post the other ASAP. It's in Swedish so I'll try to translate it as well as I can.

It contains: 5% nitrogen (3% pure nitrogen / 2% ammonium nitrate), 1,7% water-soluble phosphor, 5% potassium, 0,010% water-soluble boron, 0,009% water-soluble copper, 0,0034% water-soluble iron, 0,0018% water-soluble manganese, 0,001% water-soluble molybdenum, 0,0018% water-soluble zink.
