Terrible Tomato Troubles!

[Lottie Babe]

This is my four season growing tomatoes and I just cant seem to get it right. The first two years I used just pots, last year and this year I chose the ring cluture method (bottomless pots into grow bags). The plants have always been bought at a garden centre and are very healthy. Every year I get leaf curl, all the way up the plant not just a few at the bottom. When you gently squeeze the leaves in your hand the seem dry. Although I end up with a small amount of fruits i know somethings not right. This year I filled the pots up with half well rotted manure and half grow bag compost. Previous 3 years I just used grow bag compost. The greenhouse is well ventilated. The plants are watered every morning. Fed once a week with Tomorite. What am I doing wrong? My neighbour has given me one of his plants to see how it fairs in my greenhouse. He has a polytunnel and his plants lok right, dark green, flat leaves. No curl at all. The temperature in my greenhouse and his polytunnel was the same. We are both at a loss as to why mine are like this. My greenhouse is cleaned every year with ***** Fluid. We are both at a loss. Four year running and still not right.

i'm not an expert but with this weather i didn't water my plants so often... i know they are in greenhouse but i noticed that the plants absorbed the humidity in the air. i will say that i water them 2 a week ( and feed at the same time)... just a silly question: have you grow the same variety of tomatoes every years?

I also have hardly had to water my toms the last 6 weeks or so

they curl in heat, they curl in cold, they curl if you water too much.
what size pot are they in this year, where is the greenhouse situated, have you checked the compost with your finger to see if it's too wet or too dry before you water, are you mixing the right amount of tomorite with your water, are all of theleaves dry and crispy, or just the bottom ones, are they growing ok despite having curly leaves?

My Terrible Tomatoe Troubles!!

just taken some pictures tonight.

i don't know why they are curl...but on the first pictures i can see a lot of black spots on the leaves so you may have got a bit of blight on that plant.... but again wait some more expert to come along....

My buggers have all frisped in the heat of the conservatoire today. I cant be at home all day and every day to pander to their needs. Lord knows I've babied them this year for naught. I must have no more that a dozen toms coming.... and now theyve frisped. bastard effey jeffy crap balls. I HATE TOMATO PLANTS!

GGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Lottie - have you used the same compost or tomato feed out of the same bottle for the last few years? Some of that looks like herbicide damage.

*I'm not actually obsessed with this but on pic 2 and 4 have got the telltale stunted curl.

Agree with Zazen on pic 2. The rest of them...dunno...are they like this form the get go or do they become like this as they get older? Are they near anywhere where someone may be spraying weedkiller? to be honest, the rest of the pictures look like mature plants that have fried.
