I have grown many batches of AeroGarden Cherry Tomatoes in my Harvest and then transplanted them into my 15gal totes. I have a set routine of lighting, feeding and watering cycles and have always been successful until this latest 6 plants. They just look sick. Leaves curling, brown edges or just limp looking. Since all 6 are in the same condition, I can only feel something common is the problem. My PH is 5.0-6.0, using AeroGarden Nutrient, PPM 1400, watering every 2 hours for 10min. Watering is done via mini sprayers into 4" net cups draining back into tank. I had previously showed my Hydroponic Setup on this forum when I started. Hopefully it is still around.

Using just AG nutes may not be sufficient with regard to trace minerals. Supplement with cal-mag which has 5 times the calcium and 3 times the magnesium. I also use epsom salts for added magnesium.
Since this batch has been treated no differently from previous runs, I would look for something in the environment. Have you considered bacterial or viral infections?
I had a virus a couple of years ago and it ravaged all of my plants in days.

My Gardens are all in an enclosed shed that has exhaust fan, a/c unit, etc. Inside temp never exceed 90 degrees. I had added CalMag to all gardens when they were transplanted. I don't think I have any virus, as I also have Big Boy Tomato seedlings also growing in same area and they don't seem affected.

I had previously showed my Hydroponic Setup on this forum when I started. Hopefully it is still around. Alas, I fear that the photos for your hydroponic setup are gone. Is this the thread? aerogardenaddicts.com/post/18010/thread You can post the photos again if you still have them. I don't have any suggestions for your sick-looking tomatoes that scarfguy hasn't already mentioned. Could be that you got a bad batch of AG seed pods.  |
