Nutrient deficiency in Tom plants pics

Well I've neglected to feed my tom's a little this year as I'd dug a load of homemade compost and chick manure in, I've been feeding a little seaweed extract and comfrey tea, but not regularly. I like to try different approaches every now and then.

Anyway I've took this photo as I thought it may help others to spot it, Well I'm pretty sure it's a feed problem

They will be getting a dose of epsom salts tomorrow daytime.

This looks like what my toms have got that I have blamed on a virus?
Have been using epsom salts and double dosing with tomato feed because it could be potassium or magnesium deficiency and my plants are much improved.

your poorly toms look like over feeding of feretilisers ,

start again by watering twice each week and feeding once a week, make one of the watering days 2 days after you feed them ,

should sort them out and the toms will not be sat in feeding solution for more then 2 days ,

You said it never helpedand thatthey fruited nicely, now you just said on another thread, the fruit were effected, too. Make up your mind lass!

Could possibly be yellow leaf curl virus. Can't get my computer to copy a thread for you but just google it and see if it's the same.
