Prior to being split apart. The sulfer and accompanying acidity got through the skin of the tomato. The sulfer damaged the skin and retarded the outer growth a bit, too.
Excess nternal acidity retards growth... Good to know. This may be why excess nitrate doesnt create proportionally larger fruit. Supposedly assimilation of nitrate is acidifying. Ammonium competes with calcium but supposedly it's not acidifying within the plant. As long as the xylem doesnt have too much ammonium (but the phloem does have ammonium) then there is no conflict? This sounds very techno babble coming from someone who didn't hit 5 lb. But hey... even small houses need some kind of foundation, right!
