Is it possible the roots are rotted? My containers have tight fitting trays and have seen water stay in there for couple of days at a time. The trays snap onto the bottom of the container instead of one of those individual tray you place a container on.

Check info & images about late blight.

While it can't be good for the plants to sit in water and yes, it can lead to root rot, it sounds as if you have additional problems too. most likely somesort of fungus infection.

But without seeing the plant or at least a photo it is impossible to diagnose. Check out the Tomato Problem Solver I have linked below for good pics of the most common problems organized by parts of the plant - in your case leaves. ;)

See if they don't help you narrow down the problem. Good luck.

Here is a link that might be useful: TAMU - Tomato Diseases

Am interested in Bolsemo and Top Gun - what are the best vendors for these varieties?

Here are some pictures of the tomatoes.

Looks like a cultural problem instead of a disease.

Evenly moist is the goal, both in the ground and in pots. Potted plants are always more of a challenge than those in the ground.

Do you mean like religion? J/K

The plants are watered, I think I was drowning some of the plants. They also recieve well water, which I am close to the ocean? Maybe well water to salty?

No, not like in religion.

But in what you do to try to grow the plants -- as in water, light, fertilizer, soil, air and temperature.

I'd say a root problem.

As to your well, you can have the water tested to see if there's salt water intrusion. But understand that "salt water" doesn't necessarily mean sodium. Even so, too high a concentration of dissolved materials can affect roots.

Is the problem worse in the pots than in the ground?

And have you tipped out at least one of the potted plants to see how soggy/wet/dry the potting mix is?

If not, do so. And while there, notice the roots. Healthy roots should be creamy white.

I have seen two other people with very similar conditions as mine. Still have not figured it out. Can wind cause this?
