Anyone know what this is

I am only seeing this coloration on this plant. I'm not sure what it is, it's supposed to be a bhut, but I got it from thehottestpepper.com and I have heard that you either get the real thing or you end up with carribean reds. So here is the pic for ya...

It's a squash! :dance:
 
It's a lack of phosphorus and calcium. Purple leaves = lack of Phosphorus, curling/crinkly = lack of calcium.
 
Calcium takes a relatively long time to work. If you just fed them with ferts the purple will eventually go away (it should be noticeable in about a week or so). The curled leaves will take longer. Just leave them be.
