As trace minerals are the first elements to be quickly absorbed, try using some kelp meal around the base of your plants as well as adding a few pinches of sea salt to your watering can. This will help to restore the mineral balance and bring your plants back to life = ) It can also help to stick with a good organic fertilizer, as most artificial fertilizers don't have the nutrients needed for plant growth and can often cause more problems than they solve! = )

Ah gotcha! 👍 Though there is some spotting, your leaves are looking very healthy! Whatever you're doing, keep it up! = D I did some more research, it's hard to pin down the source of pale spots, one article summarizes that it may be due to light/sun burn as a result of water droplets concentrating light on the surface (who knew!🤔😄), but it may be as simple as some bug having a nibble also! = 3 https://youshouldgrow.com/tomato-leaf-problems/ A balance of sodium usually makes plants less attractive to smaller critters. See if a good sea salt like Celtic sea salt, or a product from the Salt Lake in Utah (high concentration of nutrients) such as Real Salt™ or Sea 90™ would help. I would start small, but you're really on the right path as far as mineral health goes. Well done! = D

Dean Simmons the only thing I changed this time was adding heat mats. Everything has grown so well. I used seed start mix from Gardeners Supply, and then uppotted using recipe 420 from eb stone organics.

That's a very good potting mix! I love the balance of nutrients they involve. 🤗 Heating mats are definitely a plus and something that I might be using in my own grows! ^ ^

Try using some fertilizers from Espoma Organics to replace the nutrients as she grows. She looks like she has a beginning deficiency in potassium or nitrogen, maybe magnesium, but my experience with tomato plants is a bit limited and I defer the wisdom to one of the more experienced members here! 😊 Send us an update on how she's doing and any more pictures of her leaves! = D
