Looks like they have a sun burn. Plants seem alright ,probably just lose first leaf.

Looks like Ozone damage to me.
This can be caused by intense sun exposure and also from the exhaust of a near by internal combustion engine. Either way continue sun exposure but consider some mild shading and keep away from any potential exhaust areas. Plants should recover overall, but do not expect the damaged leaves to improve much.

I agree with everybody above. The actual plant looks healthy. I stay away from ferts. For awhile but the plant looks ok though in my opinion. They should grow out of it ok once in the ground. Erik

Looks like to wet & to much sun to soon to me.I like to acclimate them under a screen so the harsh sun doesnt burn the leafs.The peat soil medias hold to much water.You have to be carefull not to over water them.Let them dry out.Only give them morning & evening son the first few days.Water the outside of pot & let it soak in ward,rather then soaking the middle of pot.I wouldnt fert them for about 5 days after they dry out.

"Looks like to wet & to much sun to soon to me"....what he said. Sun scald on an overwatered plant in cool soil.

to much sun to early on is a killer. everything in moderation the first week or so outdoors. half day of sun is more than enough the first week or so.especially if in pots where you can move them in and out of sun. pap

Never hurts to research and draw your own conclusions and apply your own remedy. You may start here;

First off I want to thank everyone for responding In the past week or so I have been trying to climatize my plants to the sun when ever I can.. With a break in the weather I took off Tuesday,Wednesday to get them in the garden.. I remember on Monday I came home for lunch and pushed all my plants up aganist the back bay window for one last shot of sun before they go outside...And all my best plants always get front row... Crap I think I cooked them a bit...

Well I did transplant today anyway the next 4 days crap.. So no root bound and I had to add water to keep soil from crumbling so soil not to wet...After reading all your posts .I think the diagnosis is sun burn..My plants have it and so do I after being outside for 2 days..
Dave M thanks for offering plants but I still 2 backups.. for now
