    it may affect the yield but not the quality

    Could be Septoria Leaf Spot?

    looks more like symptoms of a virus to me but difficult to say from a photograph. Blight should look like th pics you can see by following this link https://www.google.com/search?q=pota...w=1455&bih=688

    That looks like blight to me, but I've only seen it once. Someone else cleverer will be along shortly.

    I noticed this evening that some of my second crop of Charlotte's had dark spots all over the leaves. One plant is badly affected, others have some on just a few leaves. I'll post a picture of the plants tomorrow, but here are a few of the leaves - anyone know what this is?

    Blighted plants look yucky with fungus-like dark damp patches on stems, leaves and fruit, plants usually collapse after a day or 2

    How big are those pots, they look a bit small for a large tomato plant - that may be the problem?
    I've a massive amount of nettle compost tea, but nitrogen isn't the fix here from what I can gather, for growth not fruit.

    I've about 10 litres of home-made seaweed tea too and the actual seaweed, so might give them a feed and then some seaweed mulch on top.

    All the stems are perfectly healthy and growing well, all the green tomatoes also looking perfect.

    I'd agree - bit of a deficiency problem - not blight.

    Wondering if you guys can cast your trained eyes over these three.





    I've just given them all some Epsom salts to see if that makes any difference, plant 3 seems to be the most likely to be a deficiency than blight as far as I can see?

    Excellent. Yeah, on second look it didn't seem quite right for blight but wasn't sure if that was wishful thinking. Ta.

    Not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't look like blight to me. I'd just cut the affected leaves off and bin them, then hope for the best.

    (I only grow first earlies now - plot is a blight hot spot)
    Must read slower - I misread part of your post. Nearly spat my tea out.
