I tried researching the problem, but I feel like I’m going down a rabbit hole. Anyone got an idea of what could have happened to the leaves? Located in South Carolina btw
I have used fertilizer in the water and the soil already came fertilized. I was thinking it could be from too much food, or the sun is the reason?
It looks like sunburn. How did you harden off your plants?

I agree it looks like sun – how are you watering them? Are you getting water on those leaves that doesn’t have time to evaporate before the sun gets to it?

Looks like you have spidermites to me.

Powdery mildew, cut that whole branch off and use some neem or lookup a mix to wash ur plant

Honestly, I don’t think you should overreact. It’s one of the lowest leaves, prune it off like you should anyway. It’s just a little blanched from the new weather conditions

It’s a fungus

Please don’t just comment and say it’s fungus if you don’t know what kind or what it from. It’s stressful and unhelpful

It’s not getting the proper airflow it should with those dead leaves covering it up,get a spare bottle with some water add a tip of baking soda and spray it on the leaves that should clear it up,also spray the other leaves to prevent it happening to the other plants

This is sunburn from not hardening off your plant correctly before moving them out into full sun full time. This is not a fungus or mites…..
You can treat your plant for fungus and spider mites if you want as it won’t really harm the plant but you will be wasting your time and money by doing so.
