Default Please help diagnose.

I have two GiGi's Yellow Belgiums that are showing these issues, a Indian Stripe x Possibly Daniels (from Carolyn, 1 of 2 that germinated) and a third variety is showing symptoms. I'm not sure what I'm dealing with and I'm looking to the more experienced for guidance! Thank you!

I dont see very well even WITH my glasses but I dont even have those on. Could be mite damage. Where I live we get Tomato Russet Mite, which you cannot see with naked eye (google for diagnosis) and spider mites. You can see spider mites if you look very closely. Best way is to take a white paper plate and shake some leafs over it. Look for little teeny tiny specks. Either can kill your plants and will need treatment with a mitacide.

How can I rule out fungus/virus? The pictures I took aren't as good as I had hoped. I may have to take some more to get a better representation. Are there organic mitacides?

Sometimes when plants are weakened by mites they are less resistant to leaf disease. I dont think you can ever rule out leaf fungus on tomatoes but thats just me! I have used wettable sulpher for russet mites in the past, some use Neem products which are organic. You need a better diagnosis than mine before you start product shopping. Also, close up pix of damages leaves/stems would be helpful.
