Grainy white-silver-gray stuff curling leaves
So I've got something stunting one of my tomato plants, it's currently about half the size of all my others. It seems to be curling/tacoing all of my older leaves while it develops a grainy looking area around the edges of the leaves.
It ranges in color from a whiteish silver on some leaves to a darker gray on others. PIC's attached. |

If you have spider mites, I would recommend commencing spraying the undersides of the leaves with this:

sprayed with some organic copper fungicide on these plants and they seem to be doing much better, so it was likely some type of fungus. However now I am dealing with some type of wilt on my other plants... not getting any breaks this year

Oh and humidity is usually a non-issue where I'm at.
