Tomato Growing Thread 2022

Is Tomrite given via watering can enough or am I abusing my poor plants. But I don't work any more so, in theory should be able to talk to them every day!

 

@JWK just this, but it doesn't give a specific amount to give each plant, just how to make up 6L.

 

First year of growing tomatoes in a green house, have two plants, plum variety and two plants, cherry variety in stood up (rectangle) grow bags and both are getting black ends on about half of the fruit. Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?


The plants are not touching each other between the bags.



I have gardeners delight in ring culture on the other side, they went in much later so not set fruit yet, but want to check it’s just my techniques at fault and not something that will spread across all plants.



Thanks, Tink.

 

It looks like blossom end rot to me.
Usually a watering problem, but I think it can also be a calcium deficiency.

 

I use that feed along with others and feed twice a week when plants are large with loads of fruit, its always worked for me

 

I very rarely get blossom end rot these days I grow in quadgrows with plain water in the tank and feed into the pots and always incorporate calcified seaweed in the compost at all stages of potting up putting 100ml in the final pot.

 

@sandymac thanks...how much feed are you using per Quadgrow pot, at the moment I'm feeding each pot 500ml once a week, is that enough.

I'm trying to feed an amount of liquid that stays within the compost in the pot and doesn't run through into the reservoir.

 

@JWK is that 1L of feed per Plant

 

@Loofah how much feed per plant do you use in a week.

 

I'm assuming thats 500ml of diluted feed.
