Why are my tomatoes on my tomato plant turning white at the base?

The plant looked normal until the very hot weather now even the new tomatoes are growing white.

Why are my tomatoes on my tomato plant turning white at the base?
It's powdery mildew, a fungus that weakens plants by penetrating leaf tissue %26amp; absorbing nutrients. Happens when it's too humid or wet. If there's only a few leaves affected %26amp; there's plenty of leaves left, I first get rid of the few affected leaves. Then I spray with the following spray:





Baking Soda Spray





2 tbsp baby shampoo


1 tbsp baking soda


1 gallon water





Mix together %26amp; spray on plants.
