I have seen something simular in my tomatoes, but I thought it was due to the heat of summer where I am.

http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7067&start=41 I'd like an idea of what my system might be lacking. Any ideas? I'm posting it here because I figured there may be people that check out the "plant" forum that may not keep up with "member systems". |

Looks like Tomato, or more correctly Tobbaco Mosiac Virus... to me... can affect bell peppers as well... http://www.avrdc.org/pdf/tomato/ToMV.pdf http://www.avrdc.org/pdf/pepper/TMV.pdf Common causes.... cheap potting mixes used in cheap nurseries... transfer from planting implements... dormant in soil.... IMO... rip them, get good stock and start again... Could well be the case for your Strawberries as well... but, they just go like that sometimes, especially the older leaves... I'd probably leave the strawberries and peppers... but flick the toms... P.S ... TMV, tobbaco mozaic virus..... was the first virus ever identified... |

Hey don't hurt me, but as far as i know can this be a kind of potassium defency or a high ph. Even if leave points dry out. And that seems so. Do you use something to increase you potassium? Whats your acutally readings (ph, no2, no3, nh3/nh4) Dom |

It's certainly a "new" system and as such not "matured" .... but personally I'd doubt that potassium deficiency would show so drastically in such young plants... |

Tobbaco Mosiac Virus is also caused be smoking & then handling your plants. Quite sure strawberries can't get it though. |
