Aji Dulce Leaf Crinkle

[DocNrock]

I have three Aji Dulce plants and they all have crinkled new leaves/growth and the rest of the leaves have some curl. No other discoloration. I've seen no pests on the underside of the leaves and no lesions on the leaves. It is only my Aji Dulces. None of my other varieties demonstrate this. According to the diagram below, it looks most like Ca2+ deficiency, but these plants receive the same nutes as my others. On the pest side, it resembles thrip or whitefly damage, but I've not seen any of these, either. Is this normal for Aji Dulces, or is there something going on with them? They seem to be growing just fine and are starting to bud, so I'm not really worried. Just wondering if there is something. Virus affecting the seeds from which they were grown? Don't know.

It also looks somewhat like over-fertilization, also called fert burn. What are you feeding it, how much, and how often?

I ususally use Fox Farms Grow Big 6-4-4. But they haven't received anything in about 2 months. Are Aji Dulces more sensitive to ferts than other varieties?

A lot of my plants look like that but I was told if they're not dying leave them alone.

Calcium has nothing to do with that issue, you folks may be looking at a mite problem. Broad or spider mites. You're going to need some kind of insecticide.
