[PICS inside] What is wrong w/ this tomato plant? Please help!

17 years ago

Hi. I have 3 tomato plants growing inside my closet. One of the leaves of one plant had been showing some brown spots on top of the leaf (under magnification I could not see any bugs on the undersid, but I think my magnifying glass sucks).

Today, I decided to put some antibacterial soap spray on the affected leaf and hours later all I see are a few more brown spots and now there are white marks on another leaf (pictured)

please take a look at the pic and let me know asap. I love these plants and I want them to be as healthy as possible =(

thanks in advance.

What kind of fertilizer are you using? What ppm? and what type of hydro system are you using? How old are your plants? From that pic it's hard to really tell. It's really easy for plants to develope nutrient deficiency in hydroponics. Hope I can help out.

1. general hydroponics
2. no ppm meter here (i know, but i'm saving up still~)
but i'm running normal dose of Veg growth atm which is:
1tsp/gallon Bloom
2tsp/gallon Micro
3tsp/gallon Grow

they are just about 5 weeks from seeds now.

I think I have figured out that it is a magnesium deficiency. I am off to the store to get some epsom salts to spray the affected leaves. Thankfully, it really didn't spread (contributing to the nutrient deficiency theory rather than it being a bug infestation... which is better I think hehe)

Any more thoughts are VERY welcome. I' will post new pics soon. They are gorgeous plants :)
