What's happening?!

Maybe I need to start from the beginning.. About two weeks ago (maybe I told about this in chat?) there were nearly plus 50 degrees celsius in greenhouse when I ran open the doors. Plants looked still quite fine, little "relaxed" but nothing bad, and I thought that it was the table under the thermometer that had warmed. Well I put plants "in shower" and they all looked fine after a while.

Few days later after a sunny day the biggest leaves from Starr and Lyons got white and like paper. I thougt it was because of the heat there were before and the damage was coming now. All the other leaves looked fine. Plants didn't grow as much as before, and I decided to cut off the bad leaves. Plant started to grow again with healthy leaves.

But today! Again after very sunny day the biggest leaves of Lyons and Starr are going to paper again! What is wrong with the plants?! Is it the sun? They have nothing else there but the greenhouse plastic, never had (some cold nigths they have been covered with greenhouseplastic).

Can it be the poison I used to ants? I don't think so, but what do you say? But why the other (Richards and Bowles) plants are fine and others in their own pots are turning paper, and I haven't poisoned any pots! All the four in soil had the poison.

Or is it the fertile I gave them abut two weeks ago? But still, why the other ones are fine and others are not? All four pumpkins that are planted in the greenhouse had the fertile, but the ones in pots didn't.. and some in pots they are also turning to paper.

What sould I do?! Please e-mail me if you have some ideas and advices what should I do. Thanks!

(I'll send few photos too)
