Not sure of the foot candles of light but it is not the brightest spot
in my green house.

Wendy, I didn't really want to speak up, because I can't really make a
helpful diagnosis from your pics. But I don't think it's pigment, nor
sunburn. If you are not seeing insect/mite problems on any other plants,
then I would have to guess fungus or bacteria. But coming down from the
points of the leaves like that would more suggest bug damage, at least to
me.

The yellowing lower leaves are most probably related to the other problem,
whatever it turns out to be. If not, they could be a sign of "too dry."

At minimum, I hope I've given your post a "bump" so that you can get better
advice. Kenni

Thanks for the bump Kenni,
Haven't looked closely for mites but have had infestations of
mealies.
Will treat for mites just in case & also spray with fungicide.
Yes, I was told it is sunburn but I just hope it's not a virus!!!!
Appreciate your expertise,
Cheers Wendy
