I posted about this plant a couple of weeks ago, it seems to be doing even worse now. I tried a fungicide and more fertilizer but noting has helped. The funny thing is the maters continue to grow even though the plant is wilting badly. All my other plants continue to do well.
This pic was two weeks ago:

It looks to be q nutrient deficiency and or bug problem. Not a disease issue to me. Just keep baby in them they should pull through as far as I can see.
The be honest they look better than some of mine which have contracted disease but are still growing.
That is the thing if you get your plant going into hyperdirve growing wise it can out-compete some disease and most pest. Every year my bottoms look like hell but the tops are doing wonderful.
Good luck, again I'm not expert but am learning the pest/disease side of things. Someone will be along to either dubunk my thoughts or second them soon.
