How do the leaves look like?

I also suspect blossom end rot, but most soils have enough calcium, especially if you water with tap water.

Often, this is caused by a lack of airflow. If the plant can't transpire, not enough Ca is transported into the tips, which results in said symptoms.

Maybe remove some leaves and add a ventilator to give them some air current

Leaves are still green for the most part. One plant in the row of three has some yellowing which I have been pruning off.

This is my first year successfully growing tomatoes and they kind of grew wild. Much too bushy and small fruits instead of larger ones.

Ive the same issue you're having.

The air flow bit makes sense in my garden. I was a bit haphazard in my planting method, air flow is truly important I'm learning.
