    All the stems are perfectly healthy and growing well, all the green tomatoes also looking perfect.

    • Not blight, IMO specially not in hot dry weather. Try a liquid feed that says it has trace elements or seaweed feed if you have it...that should sort out the new growth.

      Blighted plants look yucky with fungus-like dark damp patches on stems, leaves and fruit, plants usually collapse after a day or 2

      How big are those pots, they look a bit small for a large tomato plant - that may be the problem?

        I've a massive amount of nettle compost tea, but nitrogen isn't the fix here from what I can gather, for growth not fruit.

        I've about 10 litres of home-made seaweed tea too and the actual seaweed, so might give them a feed and then some seaweed mulch on top.

        • I noticed this evening that some of my second crop of Charlotte's had dark spots all over the leaves. One plant is badly affected, others have some on just a few leaves. I'll post a picture of the plants tomorrow, but here are a few of the leaves - anyone know what this is?

          • That looks like blight to me, but I've only seen it once. Someone else cleverer will be along shortly.

            • looks more like symptoms of a virus to me but difficult to say from a photograph. Blight should look like th pics you can see by following this link https://www.google.com/search?q=pota...w=1455&bih=688

              • Could be Septoria Leaf Spot?

                • I think you're right, it doesn't match the pictures of blight. Not sure about Septoria Leaf Spot. If it was a virus would that affect the tubers? I'll pull some out of the bag and have a look later.

                    it may affect the yield but not the quality
