    I'm slightly confused by what I am reading about growing conditions for Tom's in a greenhouse.

    One book states keep leaves dry or you may get affected by Blight.
    The other says mist leaves regularly to keep down pests.



    Also as the the trusses all have fruit ... should I now be feeding with Tomorite on all watering, or just weekly.

    You need to feed once a week with Tomorite or another feed when the first trusses have produced fruit. I have my tomatoes in the greenhouse and the humidity is fairly high (95%) in the night but not so much in the day this helps with red spider mite and the such. Keep the tomatoes watered regularly and you will be fine. I would say read seven books u will probably get seven answers on how to look after them. Good luck. Blight, what blight!!! lol

    Tomatoes don't like high humidity so if possible don't wet the leaves. I agree with Rockmoc, start feeding with Tomorite once the first truss has set. Feeding twice a week with half strength is good. Follow the guidelines on the tomorite doseage :thumbsup:
