Overnight wilting in a container grown tomatoe
I know this is a common topic and I did search first here and elswhere, but I thought I'd ask you guys anyway.
The wilted plant is a Loxton Lad, and it shares an Earthbox with another Dwarf. They are in Pro Mix, have drip irrigation into the reservoir twice a day, and most have an organic fertilizer strip, and are supplemented with Maxibloom once a week or so. There are minor variations in feeding and spraying (Neem Oil, insect soap, Monterey insect spray with Spinosad). I have about eight tomato plants, mostly dwarves, and this is the only one fruiting heavily. Fruiting heavily rings a bell for me, as does vaious ways to check for the wilts. I have a branch in some water too see if stuff comes out, but the cut end looks pretty good. The leaves are a nice green. No spots, no yellowing. The soil is not dry, and not wet, and the plant in the same pot seems fine. I guess my biggest question is what the risks are of leaving it for a bit, to see what happens? As I said, it is almost August, and it is the only plant with a bunch of mater's. Last edited by Shrinkrap; July 29, 2017 at 02:10 PM. |
