Default Tomato plants

I have just started with my greenhouse, and my tomato plants are about 3 to 4 weeks old. Some of the leaves are fading a bit from their deep green. Can anyone advise or is this normal?

Hi Latelearner, would you be able to post a photo of the plants on the forum please? It will help us a great deal. Or failing that can you describe what the leaves look like - colour of the leaves, any wilting or curling and the vein colour.

Hi Latelearner61,
How big are your plants now,?? also are they in their final growing positions??
The most common cause of leaf discolouration, is usually associated with a defficency of 1 of the "Trace Elements" mainly "Magnesium".
However, other problems can include "Scorch" that could result from sudden changes in temp/conditions.
For a better diagnosis to your niggles, you could try and post a picture, so that the "More Experienced" amongst us could offer their opinions.
cheers stupo
