Hey Zip,
I am interested in your theory that the plants are suffering from excess N.
My plants look nearly the same as the ones pictured, and have a fairly high N feed, but not past what others on the forum are using.
I have been thinking it is herbicide damage, but don't know the source, if its too much N I can fix that today, they are hydroponic.

I cannot find a reference for N toxicity that includes shortened internode distance, darkened stems and epinasty.
I would expect N to create dark green foliage, which also appears not to be the case in the photos.
Do you have more info on this?

I am not challenging your opinion, I have followed your posts and find you knowledgeable in tomato culture, but looking for a solution to my similar problem.


Breeze, what is the fertilization history of these plants?
