Its been very hot last few weeks makes sense but for the last 4-5 days cooled down greatly and problems seem to continue to worsen, hope its not russet mites or something like that

What size container? If under 20 gal i would upgrade and also have a 1/2 inch straw buffer. My guess u have a small pot and its getting to warm

different plants react different each time, i grow in a hotter alley way more or less, I have to be harder on my sprouts to ensure the heat doesn't kill them off

Leaves curling up like “tacos” is usually a sign of heat stress, and leaves curling down like “claws” is usually from feed-stress, most often too much nitrogen. How much did you top dress them with? You may have used a bit much of the tomato tone.

Is it plastic or fabric pot? If fabric if u got ground just dig a lil bit in ground and let the pot be isolated and let it grow into the soil . But ethier way adding some straw will help the heat to frost and also keep moisture better , just leave a lil area around base of stem so it won’t rot

If plastic and u got ground, I woild just transplant into ground, they won’t grow much in roots but key is not letting taht heat stress and any droughts

my plants only taco like that if left in the direct sun when the ground temps get around 120-130, you have options if in a pot you can move the pot off the direct ground, i raise mine up about 10-12 inches so air can flow under them and the pot shades the ground under it, last night i sewed a new cot style which can hold 3 of my 5 gallon pots, 1/2 pvc and canvas. if you have good airflow outside the plants can withstand alot, but if you don't you need to either move or raise plants, the surrounding area will radiate heat to damage your plants. will take some pictures quick of my setup it was 122f on the ground a few days ago
