lost the entire crop due to this, the brown areas rot. its not blossom end rot,pic of blossom end included,as well as top. this is a beefsteak.container grown in triple mix, with a good amount of dolomite added.there were also some low acid heritage plants, about 2 dozen plants in all, this happened to every single tomato.

Can't be sure without pics of the plant including stems and leaves but it looks like "late blight", a fungal disease that also affects potatoes. Also causes other parts of the plant to rot and die (unlike blossom end rot which only affects the fruit).
