Hi All,
Just looking for a bit of help and advice on some tomato and chilli plants.
I have had the plants sitting on my south facing windowsill quite happily until a a few weeks ago.
The first signs something was wrong was that I noticed a few leaves looking a bit dry on some tomato plants. They seemed to be more on the lower leaves. As this is my first year of attempting to grow anything I didn't have a clue what it was to begin with so I did a bit of reading and came to the conclusion it must be magnesium deficiency. I got some epsom salts and sprayed them for a week. The result after a week was surprisingly good. The lower leaves still looked the same but the upper leaves looked an amazingly healthy dark green colour so I thought they were fixed.
A few days later I noticed some deterioration on the leaves of some of my 'Purple Tiger' chilli plants. The damage appeared a little like the tomato plant but the affect was on upper leaves more than the lower ones and they became wrinkled as well.
Also, now the tomato plants seem to have a new type of leaf imperfection so I decided to ask you guys for help and advice.
I have both the tomato plants and chilli plants in 3 inch high pots intending to re-pot them in a few weeks into their final position. Would the pot being too small cause these problems do you think? I read too that it could be over-watering or of course the magnesium deficiency.
I have taken 2 photos of the chilli plants and 3 of tomato plants and would appreciate any advice on causes, cures, and prevention if possible. Many thanks in advance.....
