Some of my tomatoes appear to be rotting on the bottom is it because of giving them to much water?

Answers:
Zodiac is right. Tomato Blossom End Rot is usually caused by a calcium deficiency. The long term solution is to add some gypsum to your soil (gypsum has lots of calcium). You can at this fall and it will be incorporated into the soil over the winter. For now, most garden centers have a liquid spray on Calcium solution that is adsorbed through the foliage. It will take care of the problem for this year.
hi there its called end rot and its because ur not giving them enough water
You should take them to the doctor right away.
You don't want their bottom rotting.
If they are resting on the ground this could be the reason. But it could be the fertilizer.
the problem you decribe is called blossom end rot. this is caused by erratic watering, the soil dries out too much at some point. you must water every day to prevent this happening to the other fruit. I would remove the dammaged fruit as they will never grow and mature.this is acommon accurence when using grow bags as if you are out at work all day they can easily dry out. the solution if this is the case would be a simple watering system.
One of the least cause is too much free flowing of water movement as it impedes the absorbing of calcium into the plant.
The rotting on the bottom is known as Tomato Blossom End Rot. For more information, please refer to the link.

might be because you are not watering regularly
This is called blossom end rot, and a shortage of lime in the soil encourages it, add a little lime to the water and feed at the recommended times, remove the fruits with the rot and destroy them. Too much water will run through the soil removing any feed leading to lack of nutriments.
