Default What Do Think?

Yesterday, I was watering the tomato and peppers. I noticed these three plants didn't look healthy. They were in the same basket of 12 plants. I separated them and today, they look even worse. Two of them are the same cherry type tomato, and if you touch a branch - it falls off. The larger plant is Couilles de Taureau, and only has one leaf affected. (last picture)

I'll PM the person I got the seeds from for the cherry tomato plants.

The plants have been inside. They're outside to take the pictures. I'm curious as to what could be causing this?

How long outside looks like wind damage and the wind has been blowing.

Just long enough to take the pictures - a minute.

They almost look like they have been hit with steam.

I just looked at others showing signs of wilting leaves. I watered with tap water, no MG liquid fertilizer. The lights are very close to them. Everything is as I've been doing. They are growing in a bedroom, so no steam.

I think it is something wrong with the roots. Maybe over watered? Pull it out of the cup and look at the roots Robert. If root are rotting or smaller than they should be.

I'll go with the over watered/kept too wet and suggest it looks like leaf edema to me.

Okay, overwatered. I can change that. I did water yesterday. I was watering once a week. Just too much watering.

Worth, it has been very windy here, so I've kept them in.

Karen, I pulled plant, potting mix and all. Lots of roots. so I put it back in the cup.

Imo, too wet and needs more light because they're leggy.
