So, Ive been growing some tomatoes this year, and Im having some issues. The plants look great and start producing fruit, however, all of a sudden they start having some health problems They start turning yellow at the end of the leaf and then it travels down the end of the stem and down into the plant. This is our second crop of tomatoes this year, the first group only had tap water (drought) and the 2nd crop got pretty normal rain. Both seemed to be kept adequately most, but not too wet. I cant seem to figure out what the deal is. If there is a FOA that you could point me to that would be great. Or any other info :)
You don't say what sort of fertilizer, how much and/or how often you're applying it.
My thought is that the plants are "tired" because they've run out of root room, thus also nutrients & water. You have a lot of plant material in those rather smallish pots.
Maybe. Dirt is very good though(mostly compost). I fed them Medina Hasta Gro Plant liquid plant food(6-12-6)every other week. I kept them watered as needed. I had the same problem with spring tomatoes that were in the ground, planted in my raised bed garden. Since we had drought conditions early this year I was told that our tap water(very hard) had caused the problem. Would like to solve the problem for next year. I wonder if it will solve itself if we simply have better growing conditions next year.
Hi there mine look very similar. I am new to growing tomato's and wondered if anyone may have some advise. Our tomato plants are growing very high yet the leaves are beginning to die off quite quickly, turning a sort of yellow shade, curling and dying and I am picking them off however, tomato's are still growing. There also seems to be some sort of white fluffy flying bugs on my plants, I am finding small holes in the leaves and tomato's.
