Default Chile leaves turning yellow

All,

I start my chile from seed. this year I have produced the best
seedlings I think I've ever done, after building a light table. I
water them with a solution of schultz's (1/2 of the little scoop in a
gallon of water). It's been warm here in Denver so I've begun
hardening them off. I'm up to a couple hours direct sun about four or
five times a week. lately some of the plants have been developing
yellow patches. Is this from too much sun too soon? Bugs? The
Schultz's? To be honest I've been starting chile from seed for almost
five years now and I've never seen this before. I've also never had
such vigorous growth before so maybe I'm pushing the hardening off too
fast.

If I've done this correctly you can see the plants at:

thanks, and post if I've screwed up the link.

Are they getting a sprinkling of yellow *dots*? That's about all I could
see. They look very healthy. If it's little dots, you might want to
consider what was happening in their vicinity on the last breezy day.
Did someone fertilize or use Round Up or something along that line where
some of it might have blown in their direction?
