All the damaged tomatoes have the damage on the bottom area. I was wondering if this is some other disease. The leaves look green and healthy. No other signs of trouble.
So do you think it is blossom end rot or something else? Many confirmations from other gardeners for end rot. I am actually happy it is and not another issue.
I appreciate the feedback and the solution is adding gypsum to the soil. There are also products you can buy to spray on the leaves. I prefer the soil. What might I have done? I use peat moss. Sometimes I forget to mix lime in and other organic matter. If the PH gets to acidic... I read it can effect nutrient absorption. In this case... calcium.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteFound you through surfing. I wish I knew what your blight is. I have not had this experience before, just blossom end rot. Since not all the plants are experiencing this, I have no clue.
Will be back to visit again; you have a great blog!!
Try staking in some calcium sulfate (gypsum) in around the plants. Sure likes like blossom end rot, which is a blaring calcium deficiency. Especially if you are a heavy compost user!
ReplyDeleteThanks MK
ReplyDeleteI wasnt sure because I havent seen it on large fruit. Gypsum it is for all.
