Tomatos in a Grow Tent: Problem?

[gunslingor]

I see these bumps and white spots and curling leaves on mater plants, what's happening? Got some ideas but would love some unadulterated independent opinions. Such an isolated environment, can't see insects. My yard filled with septoria this summer, hopefully didn't bring it inside, watching out for it... symptoms are probably different indoors as it's so climate dependent.

Temp and humidity for the week. All discussion and advice welcome.

Those small bumps are called oedema and happens when the plant contains more water than it can use. It is sort of an evaporation technique. The browning of the leaf margins are signs of too much water as well.

Thanks, really appreciated. I suspected as much... apparently for some reason I poke my finger in the dirt and it's dry, I think perhaps the lights are evaporating the top layer of water faster than the sun did outside but the bottom must be soaked. Lowering the humidity and temp too, will water less... this is pretty temporary, installing irrigation next weekend and transplanting deeper I think.

Crazy but try letting them go until you get some wilting then water.

Done it a few times.
