Midwest first outdoor grow

[PhysX]

Just a small personal grow hopefully I'm not putting all this time and effort in for all males, that would be a buzzkill considering I only have 3 plants

Germ'd in a wet paper towel in late March planted in a solo cup until they were about a month old and they've been in the ground since the end of May. This being my first grow with limited plants I chose to lst all 3 in hopes of a larger yield.
Would really like some feedback things I'm doing wrong, what I could be doing better.
Planted in 5gallon holes, soil is just miracle grow for tomatoe

Sorry I thought I had more pictures. Here are some more

The 5 gallon holes are what is gonna cause you disappointment...

You may end up with 2 or 3 ounces from each plant, if you're lucky...

Please keep trying next year, but make those holes at least 24 inches in diameter and 16 inches deep...
That's almost a 30 gallon hole and you will see a huge difference in your girls with that...
If they start getting taller than you are comfortable with, you can pinch the stems 'til it bends over... this will cause the lower branches to catch up in height. so you could have a 3 foot tall girl that is 3 feet wide.

More like a bush than a tall skinny plant... Hope this helps...

I appreciate the reply Bud Green!
I can say I definitley wasn't prepared for this season especially being my first. I already have plans for next year bigger holes are definitley in my list. I super cropped a few times when they were a little smaller they got nice and bushy, that's when I started tieing branches down hoping it will bush out even more.
Here are a few pictures before I started lst, also a picture hoping to be a preflower.

5gal holes can produce nice plants if surrounding soil is decent. Most midwest soil is good for growing so hopefully they get nice for you.

Good start. What's the white stuff on the leaves?

 

[Kygiacomo!!!]

id say that is the sulfer dust GG.
gl on ur grow physx. u can get some nice buds out 5 gallon holes but always remember the bigger the hole u dig the bigger the root system u will have which in turns gives u alot more yeild..more roots = more fruits

Gorilla ganja - the white powder is bonide garden dust I believe I posted a picture of it. Just trying to be preventative with pests, although I've found a few caterpillar's(inchworms) that were swiftly destroyed between my fingers! Lol
I'm posting a few more pictures of the plants from the bottom. Also some plant food I was wondering if anyone could let me know if I could use this, it's a 16-2-3 I was thinking of just trying it out on the runt of the bunch to see if it's worth it.
