Tomato leaves have light brown patches & purple undersides

Hello all,

I am starting my tomatoes from seed for the first time this year & things seemed to be going well until this week. Right before I moved my plants up to bigger pots (yogurt containers), I noticed one of them had a tan-ish spot on one of its leaves. I thought maybe it was drying out as was had just had a few record heat days & the room they were in got up into the 90's before I got home from work & corrected the situation. It felt like a greenhouse when I got in there!

It is now 4 days later & 4 more plants have these same spots on their leaves!! I'm hoping someone here has seen this before & has some advice & maybe good news for me. What I think is odd is that it is only affecting my Green Zebra plants so far, not my Brandywines or Romas.

They are currently in Fox Farms' Ocean Forest mix & have been watered from the bottom, although they haven't needed to be since I repotted them. I keep the room temp in the 70's, except for the 2 days that it got unseasonably warm last week.

Thank you so much for any help you can give me!
