What causes yellowing of the leaves of sweet million tomato plants?
I am more than two million plants in greenhouse in my sweet. I had the seed of a commercial greenhouse and transplanted into a large bowl. I noticed that the leaves turn yellow yellow older leaves first. They seem to have the wilting or collapse leaves are not curled, and I noticed dark spots on leaves. The flowers wither and now one of my plants do have some yellow leaves. I've never grown tomatoes before and I am a new gardener. Could there be something to do with the temperature in the greenhouse or the amount of direct sun light the plant receives (my glass is opaque plastic? I live in a climate cooler. I do not think it is excess water in the soil is wet / damp but not wet. Please help!
This may be a simple case of over-watering. This is the most common cause of death for houseplants. Most new gardeners and factory owners tend to love their plants to death. Roots need to breathe as the leaves. A simple rule for watering, is to feel the ground around an inch or two beneath the surface. If you feel moisture in the plant has also, he does not need water. I suggest this method until it has established a schedule of irrigation. If you do not trust his opinion on the how it must feel like there are literally hundreds of gadgets and gimics there to help with testing. Just go to any garden shop or (gasp, I can not believe I'm saying this) Wal-Mart or Home Depot and ask for something for the detection of soil moisture.
