That's viral damage. There's no deficiency otherwise all the plants would be affected. I've seen this before and had to destroy the plants. Aphid transmission of viruses is impossible to stop. You've just been unlucky.
I think its mite damage. In that cases downward curling of the leaf occurs and all the leaves appear in a bunch. Just try spraying dicofol 5ml in a litre water diluted. It might work

Fully agree with Dave.
So you think I should remove the affected plants and hope the others will be ok?
Yep, that's all you can do really Markos. It will prevent the virus being transmitted from the infected plants by aphids should those attack again.

Difocol is an organochloride with serious effects on the environment.
Why would any first time poster trawl up an old thread simply to advocate its use .... unless they are deliberately trying to cause argument
