    Dave have your plants recovered at all? Mine have eventually sorted themselves out, are still growing but slower now. Mind you, I have never seen as many flowers on my toms as I have this year. Must be doing something right for a change!

      Some of mine did this when I put them outside, and one of them still is, but the fruit keep getting bigger.

        I would have helped you all resolve my tomato problem if I had said in my first post here:-
        I replanted my tomato plants in 10 inch high pots with a 10inch diameter rim.
        The greenhouse is south facing with 2 roof vents and 2 louvered windows there is no shading this year.
        The compost is 50% general purpose and 50% amenity site compost which was probably too strong.
        There was 1 to 2 inches space at the top of the pot which I have filled with water every evening in the hot weather. The compost never fully dried out.
        Initially the plants shot up to about 3 foot then the tops started severely curling in on themselves and growth stopped. They have not yet recovered.
        I would say the colour of the leaves is definitely on the blue side of green rather than yellow.
        Next year I will only use a general purpose compost with some clay maybe and feed at the correct dose.
        I will put the pots in trays and water from the bottom and try to regulate the temperature more.
        On a positive note the cucumbers in the same mix are thriving, I already have a heavy crop.
        Thanks all
        Dave
