Strange deformaties of leaves
I have a post now(disease or deficiency, I believe). The common thought seems to be potassium deficiency in those plants, but I have an issue that is different(I think). I have 4 Tiny Tim tomato plants that have odd curled, and or deformed leaves. Some are smaller and rolled underneath, and some are misshapen, very very odd looking. Here are some pictures, maybe someone has an idea what is going on with them. I have many other varieties of tomatoes, and no others are showing anything like this. They are all in pots, and had gotten pretty rootbound before I transplanted them to larger pots a few days ago. They were started in soda bottle self watering planters(1 liter each), and stayed in them too long. The flower buds even look strange on them, like their growth is stunted. One of the plants has buds opening, and is setting fruit, it is the tallest and least stunted looking, but still not quite right. I found a caterpillar in one of the pots today, and started wondering if bug damage could be part of their problem. Any ideas? Thanks
