It's showing a nutrient deficiency. It's hard to tell exactly what, maybe magnesium or iron. But the solution is not always to add more of what is being shown as deficient. PH problems can lock out nutrients sometimes, or if too much of one nutrient is present, it locks out others. Root rot can also be the culprit, especially if the media gets cold and mucky.

If you decide you want to add a fertilizer, probably a cal-mag plus iron would be my choice. I have a jug of the stuff from Botanicare: http://www.botanicare.com/Assets/Pro...lMagGallon.jpg

Thank you very much for your replay. This leaf turned this color in the small peat pot since transplanting I haven't seen it progress. I am also using mator Magic fertilizer. Night temps are high 60s day temps are low 80 high 79

Yeah, getting rootbound was probably the issue. You should be fine after transplant.
