My Fat Frog micro tomato leaves are turning pale yellow green. Is it a nutrient deficiency? Also, I think it’s infected with some sort of leaf spot. Been treating with hydrogen peroxide solution, but the leaves were turning this color before that.

    What’s it look like underneath? Are they purple?

    Sometimes when they’re starting to grow really rapidly, the new growth will come in a bit pale like that; as less-mobile nutrients like iron make their way into the new growth, it goes aways. I.e., give it a couple days & it’ll usually green up just fine.

    As the other commenter said, give it a few days. If it persists, treat it as a nitrogen deficiency and perhaps hit it with some fish emulsion or blood meal.

    Too much water would be my guess.

    Mostly it’s just that they are fresh and new. I wouldn’t worry about it.
