This is my beefsteak tomato plant. For the most part I think he is healthy but lately I have noticed a few new "issues". I've attached several photos of the same plant so you can get an idea of how he looks all around. Please help!!
His mature leaves have been tough and curled for quite some time but they remain green and he continues to grow. Lately I have noticed some yellowing towards the bottom. I can't decide if he has a deficiency or a disease (or I'm just crazy). This is my first year doing tomatoes so I do not have much experience but I am doing my best.

Hi Jenny Spaulding . No major issues noticed. But I think it's initial stage of Thrips and Potassium Deficiency. Please compare symptoms by clicking on green links for taking control measures from Plantix library. Care: Don't do overwatering and direct watering on plants. Even don't allow soil to become water logged. Make holes below the growing containers to drain out excessive water from the containers. Apply good amount of Farm Yard manure or Vermicompost to get good growth along with recommended dosage of fertilizers. You can also use fertilizer calculater or You can also create a "Cultivation Tips" for tomato in Plantix. It provides you information on how to optimize your crop production.
