Thank you for sending the photo. It looks like sunburn or sunscald especially as the damage is irregular and seems to be where the oldest leaves have less shading from foliage above. Move the plant to a location with less afternoon sun and see if that helps. Aloha to you as well. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
