I'd really appreciate some help here. I grew a couple of brandy boy from seed [started rather late - but found out about the BB seed rather late too ;)].

Anyhow, they are all hardened off and I'm about ready to plant them outside. However, I have noticed some yellow spots progressing to brown spots etc on the leaves. The best a friend and I can come up with using the tomato problem solver is leaf mold. However, the leaves have NEVER been wet to the best of my knowledge. Is this still possible?

I need to know what this is so I can treat it [if needed] and not end up killing off my brandy boy after all its hard work of getting this far.

If further pics would help clear this up, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your help,
Chad

In fact, the plant in general looks okay. Are all of the spots on the lower leaves, or are there some higher up?

My thought is that transplants make a certain adjustment when going to low light (indoors) to lots of light (outdoors). The leaves made while it was indoors have less chlorophyll, but it's set at that level when the leaves emerge -- it can't just "green them up" a little more. So as it makes new leaves which are adjusted to the high light level, it retires the old ones. They get yellow, curl a little, and sometimes get some brown spots as they die off.

I've had transplants which are skinny sticks with a tuft of a couple of leaves at the top, because all the others got yellow and fell off as they hardened off. Yours looks better than that. :) If there are spots in the upper leaves, then you may want to consider taking some action, but if it's all down low as it looks like, don't worry about it.
