My plants where doing great!

My plants where doing great but today or yesterday something weird happened. my leaves changed shapes?
All these leaves were fine yesteday but now they are shaped less pointy?
Ive never seen anything like that. I did give them fertilizer and water them yesterday.
Anyone got any idea?
they seem to be curling in or something.
They seemed pinched some sides.

The deformities I see in the leaves look like the result of damage that occurred during earlier leaf formation, leading to incomplete formation which becomes more apparent as the leaf gets larger.  This typically results from improper hydration, either inconsistent water access to the developing leaf or sucking insects feeding on the young leaves.  This looks like the former to me.  I don't see signs of pests, but it's always worth checking. My guess would be they had some inconsistency in watering or they were exposed to sun they weren't fully ready for (maybe the odd hot days among cool days) that increased transpiration through the forming leaves, drying them out too much in various places (usually edges and tips). In any case, the damage would have been done some time ago, but becomes more apparent as the leaf continued to grow. 
 
That's my take.
