Hello all!
I have noticed my tomato plants starting to wilt and i knew that it was not a watering issue as they are always watered when needed. After closer examination, there are dark silvery spots on the leaves, mainly the older lower leaves and the wilting/curling is the worst on the older leaves. I believe it may be spreading to other plants. My plants are indoors in potting soil and under an led light. It looks like a fungus but im not sure. Please help! thank you!

Tomatoes are every gardener favorite plant. Though it is not always easy to grow perfect tomatoes. Tomatoes have a high risk of diseases and they also attract unwanted pests. As, you mentioned that the older, lower leaves are wilting, generally tomatoes wilt due to over watering; leaves, stem, shoots and fruit die due to over watering. Tomato plants that remain in the water quickly wilt due to extra moisture. You can take help of some professional like Exterminator Millford CT as you mentioned it is spreading to other plants as well so in order to stop that, you can take the help of a pest control guy or you can do one thing that is; take out the plant from the soil, pour some water over the stem and roots. Then cut the plant at the lower end, this Court must be four inches in length. Now have a jar filled with water and put the stem section in water.

I would recommend that you don't water it every day, and that you put the plant outside in direct sunlight as much as you can. I only water my own tomato plants once every week or so, and that's only if we don't get any rain during the summer. I've also tried LED lighting before for growing tree saplings in late winter, and it has never worked out.
