Please help identifying this problem..
Hi...There is not much to tell but IMO I am losing my Tomatoe plants ....So I will post 8 photos in two posts ...of the one branch taken from different angles ....Is it a disease or is it a result of my treating the original problem with a bleach treatment ...I cannot even remember what the original problem was but think I was told it was mold ....
Thanks Ron |

Hi and here is another four ...I know its only one branch but its from 2/3rds the way up my plants with no foliage underneath having died and still going upwards .... I would like an opinion on whether this could be the result of the bleach treatment I applied ...I am not saying the treatment is no good but did I have the mix correct....If its a disease ?? well I have real problems...
Thanks Ron |

I looked at the pictures first and then read the posts. The only time I've had something similar was a period of frequent rain which was followed by higher temps that raised the humidity. The plants didn't really dry out in between showers and developed a mold problem. It was more pronounced with any plants that had partial shade during the day. I simply cut away the portions of the leaves that showed the problem and the plant thrived when the weather "dried up".
BTW, I don't use bleach on the foliage of any plants, even though it gets lots of use and lots of recommendations for mold problems. I just can't find the intestinal fortitude to put a form of hydrochloric acid on my food. Now, I will use bleach to clean up my containers before planting the next crop.
