Troubleshooting tomato plant issue
Posted on 6/16/20 at 5:28 pm

First time growing tomato plants, trying them in pots. They have been growing well, but am starting to see some issues on the leaves. Would like to get ahead of it before it becomes a real problem.
Can anyone tell what it causing the damage? These are better boy tomatoes. The one smaller plant are sweet 100 cherry. They were planted about a month ago, zone 6b.

You should prune it

They look fine to me. Try not to get too worked up about every tiny little foliage issue. Your plants will rarely look like some sort of picture perfect image that you see in a magazine. Focus on overall plant health. Don’t worry about a little bit of damage to a few leaves. Provide it with water and nutrients. Look out for bugs and other pests. It’ll be fine.

They look beautiful to me. You should see two of mine. Caterpillars made each leaf look like peg board. fruit's beautiful though

Agree that focusing on the cosmetic appearance of leaves is pointless. Keep em well watered but not soggy, put some mulch like pine straw or leaf mould on the soil to reduce soil temp & retain moisture, and let ‘em grow. You don’t have anything diagnosable at this point bc it’s so small/minor.

Prune from bottom up and suckers. Water the containers more frequently. They quickly dry out. I have been watering every other day since last Thursday due to the dry weather and low humidity.

We have been watering them every day. It's been in mid 80's and dry. Are we watering them too much?

Yeah you are good. I do nothing to mine. Just water daily
