Your post put me at ease enough just to wait it out and see if the problem would persist. and you're definitely right, It seems I am too far north to worry about such a thing.
Its been a week and a half, The leaf curl has lessened leading me to believe it was just physiological/environmental, the yellowing has remained mild and hasn't worsened, the plants are still bushy but the flowers have begun to fruit.
I think the Bushy plants are due to using a mycorrhizae growing medium.
...I thought I did the adequate research before posting... my apologies.
but now I know.
Thank you OldGardener.
Tip of the hat--
