Is this a virus?
 

What is the problem with this Amish Paste? Its been in this 4 gal container about 2 weeks, it looked good day before yesterday. Soil is peat moss, leaf/pine compost, and perlite.

Looks almost like the very early stages of fusarium; but this early in the season in non soil it probably isn't.

I set it away from the others for now. That is NOT one of the grafted Amish paste by the way. Just a leftover of the batch I was using for Scion harvest.

I did notice some whitefly on my broccoli, but that is about 200 feet away and downwind of this tomato. One of the other threads and some of the links about the true horrors of whitefly got me a little worried. I miss the days when I was oblivious to tomato problems.

I don't see any signs of virus.

I've seen similar symptoms on container plants when the pots have absorbed too much sun and raised the soil temp too high (over 90), also on containers that have been over-fertilized or over-watered. Probably some sort of recent root stress. Only guessing out loud...

It doesn't look like a virus to me, looks like fungus. Try some copper fungicide, one TBSP per gallon. Most say 2 TBSP per gallon but I find it is too strong, and half strength works very well here in humid south Fl.
