All the new leaves that grow on my plants don't seem to open up all the way and they dopn't get very big either(but the leaves are a nice green). The leave stalks don't like to stand up either. On leaf stem is even curled. The growth is also stunted but they're having no trouble growing flowers. I think it is happening because of the fungicide I applied which was a mix of baking soda, dish soap and a little miracle gro. It was about 95 degrees when I applied the stuff. Was it the fungicide or could it be some sort of nutrient deficiency?

yep most likely the immature growth got burnt. I try to never spray new growth.

New leaves that I've never sprayed are growing the same way. What could be the problem?

Maybe they are getting burned. What is your daily high temps?

Its usually in the mid 80's to low 90's but it has been for most of the summer. But they have sunlight for about half the day if that.

How is soil moisture? Check for mites, fungal disease, etc. Can you post a detailed photo?
