Any other Tomato growers suffering from this. This year is the first for me. No cure is there?
 



It's a plant pyclogical disorder maybe over watering in the hot conditions common in tomatoes - the lime inject but dilution will only halt it the fruit is edible if you cut the ends affected off if ripened...
Next year try not to over feed too high potash too early get them potted or planted in a well drained soil add perlite to you compost mix start feeding with the potash feeds when the tomatoe is the size of a cherry use a balanced feed untill then !
Be warned also grow bags are if used very heavy poor compost use a better multi purpose if so open it up by mixing perlite or bark ;)
Best of luck in the future;)

All this message is missing Joey is your proclamation of being a General with $300,000,000 to send me and it mirrors emails that I receive daily.
