why are my tomato plants dying?
i have 20 tomato plants in individual 6″ containers on a flood table but i water by hand. i grew them from seed and they seem to be dying. tips of branches are yellowing and drying and even some leaves are. the plants are 8 inches tall and all planted in organic miracle grow soil mixed with perlite and vermiculite. they started off strong but now having problems. i have 10 small pepper plants the same age as the tomatos and they are thriving. all plants are under a 400wat metal halide light 1 foot above the plants and i water everyother day or when the top soil seems dry. please help!!
sorry but 8″ is not too tall, the roots havnt even started to show through the drain holes.
the nursery was a good idea. they said its some kind of disease and i need to bring them pictures.
thanks
If they’re 8″ tall and the roots aren’t coiling around small pots, you’re definitely over watering, which could lead to fungal diseases. Unless they’re in a hot room, they should only need water every 3-4 days. You should also be watering from the bottom (pouring water into the tray and letting the plants soak it up from the bottom), not the top. Let them dry out a bit, and the next time you water, dilute a couple cups of old coffee by half and water from the bottom with that.
If you get a sunny, warm day and you’re going to be around the house, take them outside and let them get some real sunlight and fresh air. Just make sure you bring them in again at night.
