What's wrong with my tomatoes

For starters pull it off the vine as it just turns red then let it ripen in the shade outside.

inconsistent watering causes them to grow faster than the skin.

Cracking like that is too much water too fast.

Plus those babies are over-ripe. They should have been picked days earlier.

I had a great crop despite the amount of rain.

I rowed up dirt around them 5 times when it's normally three due to the rain.

I fertilized 4 times, when I normally do it twice. Triple 8 twice and Miracle grow twice.

I cut tops off at 4-5 foot mark and chopped bottom 4/5 branches off as to not take up the water.

Had bumper crop.

Too much rain

Chinch bug damage

I slowed down my watering significantly to try and stop this problem.

Caused by too much water after having too little water.

Spray the vine with a growth regulator called 2,4-D.

Not to hijack, but what is happening when the flowers bloom then wither and die off as the stem turns yellow?

That means you're not getting any tomatoes from that plant.

Seriously, I have no idea.
