"Rusty leaves"

[Valahnuk]

Does anyone know what this is?

Half of all the leaves on the plants that is growing in pots look like this.

How large are the pots? Do they have drain holes? What variety of tobacco is that? Do the plants look healthy otherwise?

Yes the plants look healthy but this rusty like discoloration is affecting more and more leaves. Could it be sunburn? I moved two plants from my porch out to the garden, and a couple of days later this rusty like discoloration started to affect these plants too

My first thought was that they were over-watered. But if the drain holes are adequate, then my next guess is a generalized nutritional problem. It's difficult to know from the photos if it may be a deficiency or excess of some nutrient.

It started to appear on some plants that´s not had been fed with extra fertilizer yet, but also on the other plants that have been fed. That´s why i´m thinking it could be sunburn, but i´m not sure. I Have now moved the plants to the backside of my house where the sun is not that intense.
