What is this on the leaves and how do I fix it?

need to see a close up picture..

Can't tell for sure, need a better close up. It could be edema which do to overwatering and will clear up, just back off watering it. It does look more whiteish than edema. You should do some google imaging to compare.

Do you have any drain holes in those cups?

That really doesn't look like edema to me, more like a virus.

Yes there are drain holes in the red solo cups. I dont water often and if it will quit raining and warm up all of these are going to the garden.

Looks like a bad case of edema to me. Cut the plant back and dont water when its humid. It also looks like it should be potted up into a small pot

Thanks I'll do that. It is not humid in the house but it has been a cold March here this year so I cant get the garden ready. 2012 we had everything planted by now so I am hoping everything can hold out another week or so.

are those white patches removable? Do you own a hand lens or jewelers loupe? it looks like either powdery mildew or another fungus.

get that air circulating and dry it out, spray with h2o2 and neem oil and pray. Sulphur is also recommended to control....

If you would like you can research edema. If the white crystal looking appearance is not removable then it will be edema. Whatever the case is you did the right thing as I suggested by removing the affected leaves. Potting it up will help as well.
