Hmmm...looks like some sort of mold or root rot. Plus, the pot looks too small for the plant.

Are you using any fertilizers or potting soil with a fertilizer in it? There are some nutritional deficiencies and toxicities that can cause necrosis along the leaf margins.

Was this one of the ones you were hardening off? What was the weather like since you've put them outside?

Oh yeah, and you say they've been spotted for some time. Spotted how?

Good questions.

Looking again at the picture, I really thing this is due to mold. The leaves go from black to white (unless that's the jpeg compression, which I don't think it is) and that's a dead give away for mold.

Oh no...a moldy Bhut

...someone had to say it

overwatered or insufficient drainage or too much humidity??? or quite possibly it is White Mold. move affected plants away from your healthy plants, you may need to repot as alluded to by IGG (did you know you had alluded mulletman?).
