Purple veins and yellow leaves

Does anyone know what this could be? From the little information I was able to gather I'm guessing it might be cal/mag deficient? This is my jalapeno that I had to cut back because of aphids and it was coming back nicely. The bottom of the plant looks healthy.

I personally see nothing wrong with that. Purple veins is pretty common in chillis and new growth is generally a more yellow green than old growth.
 
Calcium deficiency usually shows itself has hardcore curling of leaves.
 
Magnesium deficiency is a yellowing between the veins.
 
You appear to have neither of these.
 
What's your temps like where you are keeping it? BTW.. You're in the PNW, We have a grow glog in the growing section. Feel free to stop by. There are a few of us from Wa in there.  :)
 
My temps stay at 77f - 82f. Yes I have been to the pnw glog! Nice to see others in the area growing super hots too. Thanks for the advice Willard. Not the first time I have seen you post that LOL but I know what you mean. I just water and leave them be as I have already killed a couple plants because of what you said... to much attention! I notice that if I stare at my plants to long ideas pop into my head which lead to action so I don't stare at them as much anymore.
