Hi Everyone,

My plant has been sitting out for quite a few weeks now and it's managed to grow big enough (over four feet above soil) to support itself on the small stake I used to initially make it stand straight (I don't think I can re-pot it without damaging some of the roots), So, I guess it has to stay in this pot. I've even let some suckers grow which have buds on but still small.

Now I have a different problem now that it's outside, it is still leggy but some leaves have dark shriveled patches and the flowers won't open completely, no new tomatoes forming. I thought it is heat stress so I moved it a bit to the corner where it does not receive direct sunlight. You see the whether has cheated on us here, the night time temperature was expected to go down by early to mid October but it is still too hot. I don't know whats bothering it. I do see some microscopic black fly gnats around the plant sometimes but don't understand whats all causing this. It may be probably heat stress? Any ideas? What can I do for it while the temperature is still around highs of 34 - 36 deg C (though it feels like 41) and lows of 29 deg (at night).
