Topic: Tomatoes - is THIS what I've done wrong?

[Hyacinth]

Last year was gifted a greenhouse, my first ever.......6'x4', the smallest you can get, but hey! bestest freebies come in small packages...........right 8)

So, this year, my first, I've grown indoor as well as outdoor toms........got them in pots...pretty crowded in there & not much room for me to move..

Why, please, are all the first truss of all the toms, sort-of speckled-y browny around the stem-end and a bit tacky to the touch?

OK, they're ripening OK & I'm cooking/eating them, but they look b. 'orrible.......

Plants are all healthy & OK..............is it the Tomorite (watering/feeding in such an enclosed space) splashes???

Or is it a symptom of something more sinister, do you think?

Aphids leave a sticky residue but you say they're fine so hey if it aint broke an all that  ;D  Could well be splashes of Tomorite :)

Glad to hear about your freebie greenhouse.  Must be great fun.  I have a greenhouse frame but no glass and no base.  Not really a greenhouse at all  ;D
