Datil pepper problems - virus?

[ndeme]

Hello! Looking for some advice. Datil plants are showing some sort virus on the bottom leaves, wondering if anyone could identify/confirm blight or some other virus. I realize there's no way to determine between the different viruses. Top of the plant doesn't have the spots, looks OK. Any advice besides removal of anymore affected leaves? Should I pull the whole plant? Try something like Actinovate? I'm in Florida btw.
 
I was so excited about datils this year! Maybe next year.

To me it looks like a case of too much rain or watering causing some BLS and leaf curl . Remove some of the bad leaves and spray with a copper fungicide or old school 1/2 skim milk and water foliar  spray . Try to get some air to the roots by letting it dry out . Maybe some Epsom salt and that plant should bounce back .

Romy6, thank you for the feedback! I will give that a shot. They are in an Earthbox and I've already dumped out the water. I'll grab some fungicide first and try the epsom salts too if that doesn't work. Thanks again!

Hopefully it makes a strong recovery.  Let us know how it does.
