    I had a look in my lil' old tomato book which I got this year, but their diagnostics still didn't have a picture like this.

    This is a Plum Tomato plant, about 1m tall, and no sign of any flowers yet. But the leaves have started to change colour, see pic. I have a feeling that it's not a good sign.... lol

    Oooooo. As in Tomorite?

    Does that mean there might be hope for it yet too? :flag:

    Doesn't look like blight to me as the leaves aren't curling or drooping. Also it is a little bit early for blight to take hold. Do as ziggy says :thumb:

    Just a bit of epsom salt solution would do it.

    I don't know about tomorite, as I don't buy feed, I make my own.
