Puzzled In KY

My tomatoes have been doing great but I noticed this morning I've got some lower leafs that are beginning to curl. I just sprayed Daconil in case it was fungus but it doesn't look like it to me. HELP!

Normal stress causes that kind of leaf curl. Wind, heat, etc.

I agree with Van. Some varieties leaf-curl worse than others. There is even a gene for it that a few varieties have. They curl regardless of stress.

Big Beef was automatic for me, in the ground or containers, same. It's been said high yield varieties are very susceptible. The world record Big Zak plant had it so bad, it looked dead.

Black Krim always curls its leaves for me and this year is no different. I just noticed it yesterday.

I would not use a spray unless I knew what I was spraying for.
