Yah just looks like the plants underwent a little drought... some of the tips were permanently damaged. It's good to stress your plants prior to planting in the garden. We always would let them drought to a crook and then water.. holding back on the water and stressing them signals the plants to toughen their cell wall structures and cease that crazy happy green growth so common in green houses. The hardened plants suffer much less transplant shock and death than the tender fast growers that were not hardened.
On purpose?? This always happens to mine on accident, poor things! :watering Good to know it doesnt permanently stunt them or something!

Now realize everyone that I am only referring to tomatoes here! You need to harden your other types of plants by putting them in a sheltered area outside for a few days. Then move them to a place that's a little bit sunnier for a few days.... They then should be ready to go into the garden.
