Beefstake Tomatoes

Hi,

First post on the forum, I'm growing Black from Tula and noticed that a few of them have strange bottoms, is this anything to worry about? I'm totally new to greenhouse growing and these are the first tomatoes ever grown too. I did a bit of research before starting out but to be honest most of it was conflicting.
All help and advice appreciated.





Thanks for looking
Barry

 

Could it be blossom end rot due to plants drying out in between watering?

 

Some varieties of extra large tomatoes only achieve that size because they have extra large fused blooms and fused fruits which look something like that (but the really big ones can look reallyknobly underneath).

These are some fused blooms on my Phil's Fantastic tomatoes:





That is really all one flower at the top of the 2nd pic, so imagine what that will look like underneath where all the components of the fruit will fuse together. The 'normal' flowers will be removed and only one fruit per truss left to grow, and the plants will be stopped after only 2 trusses to get the biggest 2 tomatoes per plant I can.

Did your flowers look something like those?

Have a look at the toms on here http://idigmygarden.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36475

Maybe a some GC big tomato fun next year?
