    Hello, I have taken some photo's of two leaves from different tomato plants. Not sure whats up with the first one and does the second leave look ok? I hope it's not blight.

    Thankyou

    It's not normal. You have a slight case of Phosphorus deficiency. You need to feed them regulary with Tomorite (or a similar tomato feed).

    Hi, They are being fed every 3 days. The first leave is from a beef tom which is part of my second set of plants. The second leave (pics 3&4) is from one of my main set of plants.

    My second set of plants are in small troughs 2 to a trough and are on a workbench so they are not that tall.

    So both are fine except the first one has a Phosphorus deficiency (Increase the strength of the feed?) and is the second leave ok or does it have a bit of Phosphorus deficiency?

    I am not too bothered about my second set of plants it my main set that has a lot of tomatoes that I donâ??t want to loose.

    Thankyou

    Sorry djrock I'm lost trying to follow which photo is which :cnfs:

    None of the leaves look too bad to me, I really would not worry too much about them, I can't imagine this is so bad you are going to lose any of the plants.
