I have one tomato bush out of about 50 plants in our medium growbed that seems to have a problem, many of the tomatoes appear to have "clear" stripes that don't turn red as the fruit ripens. the skin in these bits looks a bit rubbery. As you can see from the last picture, everything inside looks ok. The plant in question is on the most inside side of the bed, away from the sunlight, do you reckon this could be the problem? or is it a deficiency of some sort? the cherry tomatoes that are right beside it in the same part of the bed don't seem to be having any problem.
Thanks Axl

50 tomato bushes :shock: ...if this is the only veggie plant having trubs, I'd cut my losses and pull it, just in case it is a disease and spreads...don't really know what the cause is :?

"Tomato mosaic virus" - Fruit formed before infection develops internal browning. Brown and sunken markings appear on fruit surface and in the flesh of the outer wall. Plant Protection 3 page M97.

I found this bit [url=http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.corne[urlll.edu/NewsArticles/Tom_ComDis.htm]here.[/url]

Quote:
Internal Browning (IB), Graywall (GW) or Blotchy Ripening (BR) - A complex of disorders, hence the various common names applied, that result in irregular ripening, yellowing or internal browning of fruit. Tobacco or tomato mosaic viruses (TobMV, TomMV) have been implicated in some cases of GW, but plants free of virus and those resistant to virus also develop GW. GW typically develops on green fruit prior to harvest. It appears as black to dark brown necrotic tissue in the walls of the fruit. (Fig. 2). The outer walls are most frequently affected as seen when fruit are cut. (Fig. 3). Blotchy ripening. (Fig. 4). gets its name because the fruit ripens unevenly, with the patches that don't ripen or do so after the rest of the fruit is over-ripe. Symptoms often develop in the interior of dense plants with lots of foliage. Cloudy, wet and cool conditions, high nitrogen, low potassium and compacted soils will increase the severity.

So, it seems that because it is in the middle of the "forest" that plant is being affected.
