well all the leafs curl to inside like tacos it was very hot / direct sun and they were overwatered now flower places are brown and dry and they stop growing.


there are roots growing from stem all the way to top they look like eggs but are green inside.


will watering less fix this?


its a coco mix with soil.


ph 6.8


some plants in shade look kinda fine same watering and soil mix.


dont want to loose harvest

Using neem oil when temps are above 85F is not a good idea. If you're trying to grow tomatoes in the south now it's a losing battle.

yep some tops look like they were fried on a pan in oil








but two foliars of neem oil 3 days apart took care of all the whiteflies they are gone maybe will loose 5 out of 40 plants instead of all of them.


still theres that taco leafs thing probably from just overwatering they say water small amounts but regularly if there is no coco in the soil mix this would probably wont happen with normal soil.


neem oil works as always!



and all those chemical store bought stuff /pesticides/ do nothing those flying fucks are probably imune maybe they even like it






another observation whiteflies attack sick plants first in this case the most overwatered ones first there are healthy plants that were mostly just fine during the attack.

Cupping of the leaves due to excessive water and poor drainage effects a lot more than just tomato plants in all types of soil whether or not they are in the ground or containers. Even with the aerial roots, chances are that you have a very poorly developed root system at this point and it can be reversed if the plants are an indeterminate type -even though the damage done is not going to revert.
