Hi...that sounds better than early blight and its what I thought when I first noticed the lower leaves ....I have only had them for a day cause I had to find a way to get them home ...I take your point about repotting ..i fully agree about repotting but if it turned out it was early blight and I had repotted them after being explicitly told not to I would have no recourse against the seller....
I can only go up and tell them that I am concerned about the plants after receiving advice....of course its Xmas time and I am having trouble getting Perlite which I presume will be required for the soil mix if and when they are repotted..

I presume a copper spray would do no harm ...

Thanks Ron
