One should never neglect proper nutrition and I will have to cover all of the possibilities. I can not ignore that the most successful tomato growing I ever seen in this area was an IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Fl in Milton, FL) greenhouse with an heirloom cultivar with hydroponics. I tend to gravitate towards trying to duplicate what has been successful for others. By the way our summers are extremely hot and humid and all of our soils are poor. All of this seems to cause difficulty in tomato success.
But I will not forget the part about nutrients and other essential factors that you have suggested.
thanks,
