@Oliver Buckle is correct PLUS the plant is starving. I see very little green at all, only yellow. Has this plant ever been fertilized? And no, it is not blight, early or late.

It is very good but, like most good things, not instant. It is quite slow release.
I am told a local Squire who kept hounds for fox hunting noticed that where they had been eating their bones the grass was greener. He ordered bones to be ground and spread on his wheat field, with dramatic results. When I was little there were occasional cases of anthrax from people using cheap bones from India. It is all supposed to be sterilised and completely safe nowadays, but that's when people get careless, I would treat it as an animal product and wear gloves to handle it.
When I prepared for tomatoes in the greenhouse I dug out a wheelbarrow of soil and replaced it with with 4 compost, 2 top soil, 2 farmyard manure and a bit of wood ash. When I plant out the tomatoes I fill the hole with a two to one mixture of manure and compost. I start feeding with a tomato fertiliser, using half the recommended dose just over twice as often as recommended, so I water daily and add fertiliser every third day or so.

Thank you for the advice I have tons of tomatoes on my plants I would hate to have to toss my plants due to blight. I have them under a shade cloth since it will be in the upper 90s for a while here in northern california and added bone meal.
