If I may suggest, you are most likely getting root bound in that container, it might be time to move up to a 3 or 5 gallon container. Lift her out of this 4L container and see if the roots are wrapping around the bottom and the sides.

Also, you should adjust your pH to 6.5 every time you water, whether it is just plain water or water with your tomato nutes in it.

Your plant is looking pretty good so far... just a little bit of stress showing, and I think she is complaining that her shoes are too tight. Good luck!

What a perfect way to put it.
I would though my 2 cents in but Emilya has all the bases covered.
Hope you do not mind me borrowing that phase, even I got what you meant right away without having to think about it.

interesting solution... should work for a while. Look into finding a bigger container that can now handle that vertical height that you have created... you are going to need it.
