Those are excellent looking tomatoes.
Where do you get the fungus treatment from? I would be very interested in using some of that.

Company in America. don't know if they ship to the UK
http://jrjohnson.com/product.php?productid=16550
and a shop on Ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRICHODERMA-ROOT-STIMULANT-HYDROPONICS-PEST-CONTROL_W0QQitemZ230145238346QQihZ013QQcategoryZ519QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247
not cheap at 10 grams for a tenner plus postage
It does look good stuff though, from your results.
