Tomato plant has yellow top

I have six tomato plants in a row in my greenhouse. All are coming along nicely, but for some reason one has kind of become stunted near the top half, with curled yellowish leaves. The bottom half still looks nice and green. I know that leaves will curl if they get too hot, but the others haven't gone yellow-ish. They are all fed organic tomato food once a week. Any ideas? Sorry can't post a photo. thanks in advance.

    My neighbour always sprays his tomatoes with a solution of water and Epsom Salts....couple of tablespoons of salts in a watering can, top up with water, spray over whole plant....can't remember now why he does it but think it has something to do with yellowing leaves....won't do any harm to give it a try and it just might work.

    I had yellow leaves on my tom plants a couple of weeks ago. I did a search and someone recommended epsom salts. The leaves are now a nice lush green again.
