Discoloaration of tomato plant leaves

A few days ago I repotted my tomato plants into taller/deeper containers; using 1/2 gallon plastic jugs. I pinched off lower leaves before doing this.

The soil I used is a mixture of a little humus/manure, then equal parts peat moss & Pro-Mix Organic Mix.

Last yesterday this discoloration started on the outer leaves of most of the plants. Anyone know what it is? I wondered about manure/compost burn bur other than that I have no clue.

Thanks for your help!

When I transplanted my tomato plants some of my leaves did the same, I wonder if it is from the shock of the transplant. Actually all of my plants did that for a few days, some of the lower leaves died off but new growth came on strong. I hope that it all it is for you.

Tomatoes don't like to get water on their leaves. Did they get wet when you watered after the transplant?
