Any help would be appreciated in this matter. I do great outdoors when I buy and plant.
Thank you.

First off tomatoes need a lot of sun in order to grow correctly and start to flower. Normally it takes around 3 months for the plant to grow up in order to flower. Your plants look a bit small to start to flower so soon. Give them time and get them in bigger pots if you want them to flower and give you food.
Thanks, I've been feeding them at a 25% of the normal strength of Miracle Grow. They were 12" on 4/9 and today the 23rd they are 20" tall. I forgot to put this in, they are grown from a slice of tomato, Campari, that I get at either Krogers or Meijer's. It's a 1/4" slice that I put in seed starting mix in a Jiffy Pot.
I have grown tomatoes in an organic garden for years. I have never once added Miracle Grow to my plants to promote growth or even grow the tomatoes. I personally don't like the taste of any food that has had some sort of fertilizer added to the soil. Plus over adding this product can hurt the plant and not enhance the growth like you want. Tomaotes are a very large plant and need a lot of room to grow. They have tons of vines that come out and need to be proper up to support the vines or stems that are growing.
There is nothing like natural full sun light! This is natures boost to growing. If these have to be in a pot, make sure it's larger, and these plants need circular air , and very bright sun, and a little help with outdoor pollination helps!
I think yours are doing pretty well. I planted some seeds a month or so later but they are very small and sickly.
Full sun and plenty of water is a good solution.
