I hate 2 4 d
Its a sad day today. I put my tomatoes in on May 3 rd and they were growing great. I grow them in smart pots in a growing meduim of 60% prom mix bx and 40% black cow organic manure. I got back about ten days ago and noticed a few plants looked funny but most looked good. As time went on I kept watching them and I finally figured out what was wrong. It loooks like someone south of me has been spraying chemicals.(either a neighbor or the golf course about a mile away.)
They are 2 ft tall and healthy looking other than that. They don't look like they are dieing they are just a bit twisted at the top and the leaves look like holly leaves for the lack of a better term.Somw hwere blooming and might be puttting on fruit while others loook like they want to flower but the flowers loook tiny and not right. Here is my question.If they were slightly afffected will they grow out of this if I use something like texas tomato food to encourage growth and flowering or will they just stunt out and do nothing? I've read alot today and some of the research said they might make it if I water and feed them alot.I'm hoping so. What do you experts thinks? PS I'm doing an experiment today. I put two bean seeds in each pot to see if they will geminate or if they do if the leaves will be affected. If It is the Black Kow had chemicals in it.I'm doing this to see what the souse is. THIS SUCKS |
