Brown mottle on Tomato leaves with pics

Help......

Whagts this brown on my tomato leaves? It's only affected 1 plant. I think I may overwater but it has been very hot recently.

I have a feeling I have some like this that started more yellowy. I think/hope it's a magnesium deficiency and can be sorted with some epsom salts. Someone more knowledgable may be along soon to help us both!!.

I agree with Vix, nutrient deficiency, on older leaves I tend not to worry too much.

Mr TK,

I use tomatorite on them will this not give them what they need?

Yes its should be fine, I think it has trace elements as well so covers most things a plant requires.
I wouldnt worry too much, a few feeds will sort it out. But as i said most lower leaves end up looking a little like this, so as long as the rest of the plant looks healthy you will be fine.

It looks still in a smallish pot so probably the nutrients are getting low.

The pots quite deep(around a foot and half) just doesnt look it in the picture. Its about 30cm by 30cm around the top. One thing is I only re potted it this week so It might have been to do with its last pot

Yes thats probably it, as i said they will be fine soon.

The mottle does not look bad there and that would have been a few days ago ...wierd!

As you said, you have not long repotted it, so give it a week and see, It should be fine.

It's amazing how sometimes if you look at something every day you dont realise the growth.
