Potassium/ phosphorus deficiency?
Phosphorus deficiency is likely - those purple leaf edges are a classic symptom, especially when the plant is otherwise stressed from temperature swings or wet condtions, just add some bone meal or a balanced tomato fertilizer to the soil and water it in.
I am planning on giving them more tomato yum yum fertilizer tomorrow, so if it's that, then that'll also help! Thank you!
Maybe! Elsewhere someone also said maybe water mold! And they've been wet lately with the rain!
