By the way...do you know how to insert images in this forum?

Thanks in advance!

What is the picture? I see no picture.

I assume your N is NO3?

Note that things other than deficiencies can cause problems. Last year I had a problem with tom survival, and after a lot of experimentation, I determined that it was a phytotoxic reaction to the insecticidal soap I was spraying.

Ah, I see you fixed it. You add images with <img src="http://YOUR_URL">;

Thank you karenkei. Yes my N is NO3 only (Ca(NO3)2, KNO3 and NaNO3, HNO3). I use only the nutrient solution, no more things.

Hello Jamesvlad,

I once had similarly looking plants when doing some experiments with hydrogen carbonate ion concentrations. If you can indeed provide all your 51 ppm of P as phosphoric acid and then you need to add sulfuric acid on top of that to reach a pH around 5.5-6.5 then the problem might be an excess amount of carbonate in your water.

The lack of any chlorosis suggests that there are no micro nutrient or N deficiencies but the leaf deformation and the similar appearance when compared with my experiment plus your description makes me believe that this is the problem. I would suggest you prepare your solution with RO or distilled water from now on and share your results with us once you do this.

I hope this helps !

Best Regards,

Daniel

Thank you danielfp. Again, you´re right. The hydrogen carbonate concentrations is high. I´ve been using distilled water, and the toxicity is disappearing. The leaf are returning to normal, I´m going to take another photo and insert the picture in two or three days.

10 days ago I changed the nutrient solution (without bicarbonate), I now this is the result:

As you can see, the tomato is returning to normal.

So, for anyone who may have the same problem: the excess of bicarbonate ion could be the problem.

Thanks again danielfp and karenkei.
