@DV8 original post to agree that I think it's the roots. Based on the amount of moisture you're dealing with, more aeration in the soil would help and definitely a root cleaner. May be something to consider to protect the rest of the harvest.
I really do think that it is not that. If anything, they were probably loaded with the microbes already digesting it and having more of it bioactive for your plants to use. Pre-cooking/marinating so to speak. Just my opinion.
When I get home later, I'll take a look at your specific area for a climate map and then match up genetics that would thrive and the best times to plant for a smooth bloom. Based on what you have going, you should be vegging most of your plants, not be in flower. Unless it is a variety that has had fungal resistance bred into it.
If you feel comfortable sharing a generic region you are in without sounding creepy. I know you have mentioned Queensland, but how about a specific region. Unless the entire area is the exact same. Sometimes a deep valley or plateau can have dramatic swings through the season. Should consider these factors.
A high moisture fungal disease. And I would agree. It looks a lot like tomato blight indeed. Good call
