Does this look like early blossom end rot? Everything that I can find on it has half the tomato rotted out or a giant brown/black spot already. Not sure if this one's going that route or not and whether I should just pull it.

No.

But give her a tablespoon of epsom salt around the drip line just in case.

I am gonna say yes but I do not pull until I am for sure

Everybody has opinion but quit watering it will be tonlate for most of the tomotoes but your next round should be okay

I agree not to yank it off until you are certain. You'll know before too long. I think you might be right now that I see this on my computer screen.

Yeah it's really starting to look like it. I think I'll pull it. The rest look fine for now though.

I did. It was yummy. End looked perfectly fine on the inside though.

I use gypsum to treat/pre-treat blossom end rot. You can also put Tums antacid pills around the base of the plant and they will dissolve and treat it as well.
