trying to find out what's wrong with my tomato plants (pics)

Brian:
I am going to piggyback to your post because your pictures show what seems to be happening to my tomato leaves. The undersides of my leaves also seem like they have shiny spots. I sprayed with a diluted solution of Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew because the plants are only large enough to be in 3 inch pots right now. Within hours, I saw them starting to bend over...I panicked and spayed them with water. Some are recovering and some are continuing with the devastation. The main stems seem to be ok, but on some plants the leaf stems are beginning to get floppy. This morning several of the leaf stems had separated or been separated from the main stem. I am thinking this is insect damage and so I am contemplating spraying with something not as potent as Captain Jack. And then again maybe it is not an insect.
