Why are my tomato plants curling up?

I grew approx 30 tomato plant (of the variety Money Maker) from seed and 5 of these plants are now severely curling from the top of the plant halfway down. Ive given away 25 plants and all these look fine but the 5 I have kept which are now in pots and are starting to show the start of flowers resemble a cork screw hazel rather than tomatoes. There is no discolouration, no insects. Im suspicious that it might be to do with overwatering, poor drainage. The curling started after I repotted the five into 12 inch pots while all the others went away to garden homes and never developed any curling. Help!?

Why are my tomato plants curling up?
poss over fertilization leach the soil with water and dont over fertilize
Reply:i never fertilized the plants because they not of flowering age yet Report Abuse

Reply:I live in Texas where we are already in the 90's. We have to put them in the partial shade due to heat and water every day. Miracle grow makes a fertilizer just for tomatoes. I would think that they are getting too much sun, not enough water, and no fertilizer.
Reply:What are you doing different than the person you gave the 25 plants to? My first guess is that they arn't getting enough water or getting to hot from to much sun. Do they streighten back up and night ?
Reply:Because they saw the salad dressing.
Reply:could be over watering or not enough room for the roots
