I hope that what it is.I get spots like those occasionally on my tomatoes when I've hardened them off a bit quickly, especially on the oldest leaves which tend to take longer to adjust to the outdoors than the newer foliage. There is a faint colouring of anthocyanin in the leaves too, which is (often) a stress response in tomatoes too. I think they'll be fine, they just need to spend more time outdoors. The outdoor developing foliage will probably overtake these leaves and do better than the leaves grown indoors. How long did it take to harden them off?
I think this is the key @Cosmo spring garden, and also the reason for the antho colouring. Two factors of shock for the plant, the transplating and then the full sun on the leaves all day at the same time. The antho is a protective response to the sun. Still, I don't think you need to worry. That is a really mild version of all-day sun transplant shock. They'll be fine. I've had this happen a few times to my tomatoes. The new leaves will be better adapted.they didnt get full day sun before transplanting.
It looks like something has eaten it because that part of the leaf is translucent. We disnt see any obvious bugs a great anywhere on the plants.Are those spots some sort of deposits on the leaves or are they where the green part of the leaf has been eaten? To me it looks like something may be eating the green part.
Hornworms maybe?...Please see picture.
They were transplanted 11 days ago.
