    Mine are indoors @purplerallim, and  I do ventilate my little greenhouse really well, because the heat can build very quickly in it, and then the temp can also drop rapidly. I think you could be right with condensation hanging around on foliage though. 
    I wouldn't think it's a lack of trace elements. I don't feed mine too often, but the plants are in the ground this year as opposed to pots, so - in theory - they should have more nutrition available, but they're probably slightly worse than usual.  ;)

    The foliage is largely redundant now, if the plants have produced most of their toms, so it doesn't tend to cause any problems   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Thanks guys, that's a relief. I've had this for a few years now but this year I purposely cut away the older branches and kept them nice and airy. It obviously hasn't worked because there was no change. I did have an outdoor tomato plant that I brought into the greenhouse 2 months ago but that one is fine so I am moving toward condensation as a probable cause. The tomatoes, by the way, are always fine.
  • The tomato plants can get a whole range of odd diseases,  but still continue to give us fruit @deepdales61P2BF-3WN it's quite remarkable really.😁
