I remember listening to Jerry Baker on the radio and him saying, 'It's a good thing we have so much energy in the Spring, when it's important, because we all tire of it as the season goes on.' (or something to that effect. LOL)
Tried looking up actual quotes and it's a nightmare. LOL

30 Tomato plants, in coco, water 3x's a day. I feel done with it🤣 I took half a dozen clones couple weeks ago of the 4 types of tomatoes and I'm going to plant like 3 of each, that's it🤣🤣🤣 I harvested all tomatoes I could today, about 5-6 pounds and ready to chop most of the plants down and move in the clones.

Do you grow pickle cucumbers?

I've grown them every year until this year as I've got lemon Cucumbers

I cut these in half and eat them with a spoon😉

I use to make pickles, whole and sliced. I'd grow 4-8 plants and had buckets full. National Pickling I believe they are called. Not all that good as a cucumber in salads or on a veggie tray. These Lemons are about the size of a baseball to a softball and very good sweet tasting for a gherkin😉 If you grow pickle by all means pickle them. It's worth the effort and I'm fermenting hot sauce and pickling Jalapeños, carrots and onions. Even added a zucchini🤣 They take on whatever flavor you give 'em and these were really good hot pepper pickled. Say that 3 x's fast🤣

I'm with Gnick, not septoria. Bugs can damage leaves like that, or a wayward drop of liquid fertilizer.
Don't spray the copper in flower. I'm told it could cause distortions.

Septoria will look like polka dots, fairly evenly spaced on the leaves. It starts as a small dot that looks like a shadow on top of the leaf, then it turns brown and you'll see more and more.
(geeze, I'm an expert now? LOL)

Thank you, somewhat of a relief, but it’s definitely something other than bugs. As long as I can stave it off for oh, bout 10 weeks lol…I def don’t want to spray on flowers, they are just starting so hopefully I didn’t f up. Thanks again.

I moved the last of the Autos into the garage yesterday, it's raining today, and I'll pull them out tomorrow and assess if it's time to chop.
After I moved all the pots off the patio I discovered volunteer tomato plants, blooming.
And wouldn't you know it, they're all cherry tomatoes. I really should just pull them out but... LOL
They look like they want to come in the house. Kinda like the nasturiums did last year. LOL

see on this leaf it’s looks like the beginning of septoria, the light coloured spots,. i was thinking bugs also but can’t confirm that either,..
if septoria than i think your plant is trying to fight it off or is just a bit more resilient to it compared to @cpurola plant pics,..
best you can do is always try to keep plants healthy and strong,.
can you post a few full plant pics

Yes my thoughts too…that one is not as green as the others so I gave it a dose of Alaska fish just a moment ago…didn’t want to hijack this thread, but since you asked here’s the garden, 4 plants. Took this photo Saturday.

Not all plants are the same color of green.....just saying. They look healthy, from the pic. But I understand your worry. We all want our children to grow to their fullest potential. Should mother nature allow it.

Sometimes your the bug, sometimes your the windshield. 😉

And I'm not sure what to do with the Lebanese. All the fan leaves are yellow, which I expect with it flowering since the beginning of July, but they're browning and crispy. At least until it rains and turns the whole mess into rot. And yes the septoria had a hand in that too.
What do ya think? And yes I did cut a couple out already. 4 different plants.

So, looks like I'm not gonna get to try Beldia Mountain after all. 🙁
Started them all in a 6 pack, with some doubled up. And ALL were/are males.
Maybe I should play the Lotto. Geesch.

I had a couple strains that between males and me screwing up. I’m not gonna get to grow either! Used to be when you started six you could at least count on one female! Most of mine sexed by the first week of July! Hang in there, sister! Hope you can get that leb back on track! But it looks like it’s kind of spreading to the sugars! And you can see that Septoria on the plants in the background! What a hostile place!
