It was doing great and then I went on vacation for two weeks. It was watered daily while I was gone. What is on my plant and what should I do about it. Thanks

Looks like a bug problem. Maybe spider mites? I would treat for bugs.

That’s a massive spider mite infestation. If the bulk of the plant looks like this, you might want to cull this one instead of bothering to treat it. This infestation should have spread to any susceptible nearby plants at this point, so if any important plants are nearby, make sure to check and treat them.

Spider mites for sure. This is a severe infestation so the chances of the plant recovering are pretty slim—I’d bin it before your other plants are affected.

I’ve used Captain Jack’s Dead Bug Brew- safe for fruits and veggie plants. Worked perfectly. Bought it at Walmart

Also came here to say spider mites. I would honestly burn that plant before it spreads.

I’m just trying to process : You grow tomatoes. It’s September. You went on vacation?

Thank you for the advice. It is trash day tomorrow and only one plant. I am disappointed because I only received two good crops from it I have decided to trash it. Where do spider mites come from? Is it something I did or did not do to gain this infestation?
