I have a few tomatoes that have "crackeled" skin. What would cause
this? Is doesn't seem to bother the inside. I just can't figure out
A bit more of the basic interrogratives would help if you can't post a
pic. What type system? Lighting? What nutrients did you use and what
is your present pH and EC or PPM?
Uneven watering is not usually a problem w/ a hydro system nor does it
sound like a fungus either because a hydro system is usually on the
all inclusive plan. Most likely an nutrient imbalance which could be
caused by many reasons. You never said what color the crackling was.
Whiteish? A tan or paper bag brown perhaps?
Could be russetting or an anther scar. Still its cosmetic and should
not be a concern. Regardless, unless your real close to final
harvest, change out your solution and balance your pH back in range.
After you harvest this crop, thoroughly clean your system and your
growing media before starting up again.
good luck
