This is the 2nd year I have grown tomatoes. I am a young gardener, with a balcony garden in pots. Last year went fantastic and produced many tomatoes. This year I have 6 plants I started from seed indoors. Three Pomodoro San Marzano Tomatoes, and three Pomodoro Scatolone tomatoes. They are all planted in plastic pots with store-bought potting soil.

I just transferred them to the pots and put them on my deck a few days ago and today I noticed the leaves were changing color. I am completely new to this and don't know what it is or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated! (My balcony garden is the only place it can be, I live in an apartment but sunshine is not an issue)

It looks like the plants are getting sunburned. You need to expose plants to sunlight gradually which is known as hardening off. See this info from Burpee: http://www.burpee.com/gardenadvicecenter/areas-of-interest/seed-starting/hardening-off-your-seedlings/article10355.html
