Question by boxer_short_man: Tomato leaves are drying out – don’t know why!?
Hi I am growing my grosse lisse tomato plant which I bought as a small established plant, put it outside and left for holidays for a week and it was watered once per day by a friend and when i came back it had dried out leaves (photos below).
Does it need watering more than once per day? What do I do, do I trim the burnt leaves? Do I not put it out in direct sun? (It says it likes full sun)

From the looks of the soil in the picture I guess you are supposed to water it when ever the soil in dry or partly wet to make it damp all the time

I am not too sure this is a watering issue. First try fertilizer, it could be a nitrogen deficiency. If this doesn’t help it very well could be tomato blight or wilt. You can find many photos online to compare with the leaves you have already removed.
You should not take the tomato out of direct sun as this is what tomatoes need.
I wish I could be of more help.
Get a squirt bottle mix in some dish soap and vegetable oil and fill with skim milk, shake and spray the plant, oops first take off those blighted leaves., they spread fast. If the plant is left in the sun, wash this mix off as it is photoxic, but blight goes hand in hand with other tiny bugs like spider mites and aphids.
This isn’t a water issue for sure. Just make sure you are watering enough so that the soil gets wet about a finger down in length. But anyways buy some fungicide. I used this and it worked perfectly. I had to grow some tomato plants for AP Biology.
