I have some cherry tomatoes growing on my Harvest. I notice that the leaves are starting to curly. And some have died.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello and welcome.
I am not a tomato grower so I do not want to say. However we have many tomato people and I am sure someone will answer. Please be patient.
Thank you  |

When the leaves are dark green and curled downward, it's likely you're overfeeding them and they are trying to process too many nutrients. Cut back on the solution for a few days to see if that eliminates the problem. When leaves curl upward, they are missing a vital nutrient. From the picture, it looks like they are curled down, so my guess is that they are being overfed. I would cut back on the nutrients, but I am not totally sure.

Thanks.
So far I have only fed them when the light is on. But I will hold back a little.

As gsaxon said, it appears they are being overfed. I would also suggest you dump your tank and feed them a weaker nutrient solution.

Is this true for all types of plants or just tomatoes?

golddustpeak, I believe different plants react differently to the nutrients, so I am not sure. It may be true for other plants, but I would hate to generalize and mislead you.
