    They are not diseased, but this is a very common problem with Miraclegro soils in general. They are far too concentrated with nitrogen, and tend to burn young plants.

    Dolomitic lime will help here to some extent, but it will take awhile for the nutrient content to be washed out some.

    Next season, I would amend with some compost, and wettable sulfur to kill off anything in the soil, and give back nutrients that will be a little more gentle on the plants.

    This is likely a magnesium deficiency. This is common with tomatoes in general, but especially when using aquaponics.

    They can experience spotting and be completely healthy. If you do suspect fungal infection, I would allow it to dry almost fully in between waterings. On your next watering, replace 1/4 of that water with peroxide. This will kill off anything lurking around in the soil.

    It is also good to keep dolomitic lime handy. It will supplement magnesium and calcium, which are common deficiencies in tomatoes.

    I believe this is spider mites. This relative of the spider eats plant sap, and will destroy a number of plants very quickly. It is best to resolve this as quick as possible. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/spider-mite-control.htm

    Thank you for this! I can’t see any tiny webbing or white/red dots, but it might still be that. Shall I try neem oil? Or should I give up on them? Some plants look unaffected, should I spray them as well?
