I meant to add this pic to the previous post, showing the difference between the ones that have seemingly stopped growing and the other healthy plants that are really going for it.

I don’t think they have stopped growing, they are growing under the soil surface (unless the soil mix is so depleted to stunt the growth).
Tobacco teaches since the very beginning of its cultivation the rule “roots first, then leaves”
It is normal, after transplant, that the plant seem to not grow at all for a week or so, then suddenly take off.

These guys are ready to be planted out but we still need to move house! We haven’t found a new place yet, hopefully by Christmas. I might move these to grow bags in the meantimeBruceBear

What a busy couple weeks that was! Found a new place and moved in 7 days ago. Exhausting and stressful, even more so when you have tobacco plants that desperately need to be planted out! I got them in the ground Sunday evening but had no internet yet so just took some picks in the meantime.

Right on. I've experienced moving and planting at the same time too. Best of luck. What's the new garden like?

New place is bigger and better in every way, very nice garden, well established with automatic irrigation. Still a bit windy so had to rig some protection. Next season I will have a tunnel ready and hopefully not have to move again!

They are all looking perky this morning, not a single one lying flat anymore - could the transplant shock be over already? I was expecting it to last longer, especially since I forgot to trim the leaves before planting

I've never had this shock. What's the weather like?

Cool in morning and evening but pretty scorching at midday, I think the shade cloth I added couple days ago really helps. The plants were a bit big for their containers and I had to leave them in the garage for a few days before planting so they displayed a bit of shock when I planted them out - leaves and stalk wilted, some plants lying completely flat. Hopefully the roots have settled in now

Caught a green grasshopper munching away on a Havana 142
My plants yesterday evening after a thunder shower - small Habano 2000 in foreground was the victim of a cutworm but is making a strong come-back

Just happened today - some top leaves of Little Dutch are wilted, no idea why. Weather has been warm but not unusually so, any ideas? Searching the forum with ‘wilted leaves’ gets too many threads that are not applicable, although one mentioned sun scorch from reflecting windows and doors as a possibility...

Is it only a few plants, not all of them? If so I would suspect sunscald from window reflections.
The final photo shows necrotic (darker) areas. This suggest to me either a viral or bacterial cause. You may just have to wait, to see if these leaves recover or not.
