what's wrong with this tomato?

« on: August 13, 2015, 11:13 »

This tomato looks fine from the top and is firm and turning red but the underside (as shown in photo) in brown and misshapen -not mushy - hard and a bit rough. What is it?

That's called blossom end rot and it's often due to inconsistent watering.

Some information here:

Thanks, I thought it might be because of the positioning.
