Hi everybody! I'm the "ghost of this forum". ;D I'm here everyday to read in this forum. But i'm really shy to write something here, because my knowledge of english isn't good... But this is an exceptional case: My container tomatoes shows strong nutrient deficiencies on the leafs. Also BER on some varieties. My first question: Is it possible that thin stems can cause... - ... nutrient deficiency on leafs
- ... BER
- ... small fruits
- ... less flowers per vine
On spring i had too many tomato plants on my windowsill. That caused a light deficiency. They growed up 2-3 feet with thin stems... ;D I have to do that better next year... Okay, finally some pictures: An 2 oz Brandywine Apricot... (the biggest fruit this year) What's wrong with Tomatoberry Garden F 1? Leafs get yellow & droopy and then die: Another one: Magnesium deficiency? Unknown disease: Unknown disease or nutrient deficiency on young leafes:

first let me say your english is excellent, some native speakers on various forums have less command of the language than you, don't feel shy. It's vey late at night just now, and I'm not able to be of much help at this time, but first let me address the stems question. Stressed plants are more susceptible to disease, as well as problems with deficiency. Closer images might help to identify specific problems, but offhand, there may be some septoria, early blight, and iron or magnesium deficiency, perhaps something else, there is some good information here: thetomatogarden.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=disease&action=display&thread=1560this thread has a number of sites listed, in fact, looking at it just now, I realized that I had not seen a number of diagnostic images before, guess I had simply overlooked this particular thread. It can be tricky to diagnose one problem compared to another with similar appearance, but I think you will have a good chance of narrowing your problems down if you explore the various links, some are much helpful than others...a balance of proper nutrition without excess, and proper cultural practice, plus good soil and proper, regulated irrigation, are important, while chemical controls may become nescessary depending on specific diseases and regional prevelance of certain diseases...blossom end rot, for instance,is preventable almost entirely by irrigation practice...but look through this, it should narrow your probable issues... thetomatogarden.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=113
