Hey Guys,
our local homebase has a reduced section for all the plants they have neglected, and picked up some cheap toms. Wasn't till we got home realised the girlfriend had picked one up too, but that she'd got one that didn't look too healthy !
Used to grow a lot of tom plants when I worked for the allotment man, so I know that magnesium deficiency is shown by yellowing leaves, and I know that toms often loose their lower leaves in favour of newer, higher leaves, but the yellowing seems to be sporadic, and has brown spots on the tips of the leaves. I remember being told about a tom virus that's encouraged by people smoking then handling the plants ? is it maybe this ?
What do you reckon ? should I whack in some epsom salts and see what happens, or remove the yellowed leaves, allowing the newer shoots coming from the infected branch (stalk of the plant) to get more sun ?
Cheers guys!
