Some help with diagnosing this leaf problem (curling under)...?

10 years ago

I brought this tomato plant back from the nursery last week. This is the first tomato plant I've tried. It seems to have grown a little already and I do see new yellow blooms as well as the development of two green bulbs from these blooms.

I questioned the leaves shortly after bringing it home. It took me a day to pot the plant and on this day, I thought the leaves looked wilted/heavy. They were droopy. I hadn't watered the plant the first day so I ended up assuming they were looking like this because the soil was dry. I tried watering it with a gallon of water everyday since. I didn't water it Saturday and thought the leaves looked worse when I made it home.

I initially potted the plant with some organic vegetable/tomato fertilizer. A few days later, I actually tried "pruning" these obviously older leaves and cut the stems that were close to the soil. New leaves look good; the older leaves look bad.

This is a bush champion tomato. It won't get bigger than 24 inches.

Just a few days ago, I tried spraying the leaves with some epsom salt and just poured the rest of the solution into the soil.

I'm in zone 9, in California. It's been between 60-70 degrees. Thanks for any help.
