What are the signs of over watering tomato plants?
Early signs of overwatering in tomato plants include cracked fruit and blisters or bumps on the lower leaves. If the overwatering continues, the bumps or blisters on the leaves turn corky.

Baking soda has fungicidal properties that can stop or reduce the spread of early and late tomato blight.
