Well  I have been told different on here but if it is just the lowest leaves affected it's not necessarily blight.  Could be anything really, poor uptake of trace elements (like Mg) splash damage or just general plant hammering from extremes of temperature, wind etc.

But if the whole plant is droopy, that's not good.

Only when it's spread to the fruit. It normally starts on the leaves.

If you are going to check for blight then you start at the leaves they will be the first to show the signs as that is where the spores are most likely to come to rest, then have a look at the stems for black patches. When you have the spots on the fruit you have not done the above cos the plants are then kerkanached
