Too little water or sunburn is a theory if you are in a warm place.

If you are at a more northern latitude, it could be stress due to cool soil temperatures. But they can also sunburn at northern latitudes, even northern norway! So my theory is that the root-system can't cope with the transpiration from the leaves: iow. -the leaves are in the fire and the roots are in the ice. The plant will get much better as the ground heats up.

Yup, sunburn - I've finally got daytime temps in the 60's and 70's, but my nighttime temps are still in the low 40's. Most of my new leaves look like that, since I put the plants straight into full sun this spring, hoping to get things growing as quickly as possible.
