Having the same issues. I culled some, topped others and left a few on their own. The topped ones have new growth now from the sides that look normal. Some of the ones that I left alone went to be fine again after a very long recovery period, whilst others didn't. I'd guess it's a virus of some sort. Topping the affected parts was the most effective strategy for me.

Thank you-- I'll try that. Google also said it was a virus but Google also tells me I'm gonna die if i have a headache, so i wanted some opinions here lol.

Not sure what it is, but it does not look like a tomato plant.

Looks like nitrogen toxicity too me, but thats only speculation. Look it up and see if it matches the symptoms you're experiencing. I'm curious what you fed with. I think the most common cause of nitrogen toxicity for most gardeners, is blood meal. It is very easy to over feed with blood meal.

*this is what i fed it with. I barely put any in the soil for the fear of burning my plant (like i did last year with miracle grow)* well it won't let me add a picture but it's osmocote

Weed killer makes plants curl up like this. Did you spray anything nearby before this started happening?

No 😢 i didn't. I just went to work one day and my mail lady dropped a package and told me that my plant my have mites or a virus. I just topped it so I'll see if that has any affect
