Default Tmv

Looks alot like TMV, BUT...TMV hits the tops of the plant first in my experience. The younger leafs will show spotty light green coloration, sometimes evenly around the leaf margins. This may go away but it is just the first signs. The newer top growth will develop a sickly light green color,looks kind of like an Iron deficiency and leafs will be narrow and sometimes misshaped, starting to dwarf and look fern like. Vertical growth will all but stop,the stalk towards the top of the plant may thicken . The fruit will also be affected. They will look like they have every type of blight, BER, bacterial spot you can think of all at once and will fall off. Flowers will fall off also. I dont think from your pics that this is the problem, looks more like a deficiency. Best of luck.
PEACE
