What's up with my Tomatoes?

I bought these last week. Could I have put to much fish bone meal in the pot?

Looks like sunscald. Tomatoes will do that if they aren't used to natural sunlight. Shouldn't kill them, I get that almost every year in my haste to harden, but they've always come back.

bone meal is primary phosphorus.  That is not a symptom of phosphorus toxicity. (have to agree with stettoman)

The problem with bonemeal, is that despite claims for years that it's some miracle product for tomatoes, it's not available immediately, and all evidence suggest that unless acted upon by something quite acidic, isn't available for a very long time. (dozens of years, in fact)  In such a small pot, bonemeal does literally nothing. Sorry.

Meh I do liquid bone meal and solid usually. Glad it's not the bone meal atleast

Ah, it was an outdoor grown player from a greenhouse so I assumed it was hardened enough. I'll grab more this weekend and put them in the shade first.

Its just Sun scald. It will come back fine. Tomato plants can take more of a beating than we think

They are complete pussies when it comes to humidity, though...  LOL
