What's causing this ?

This afternoon while inspecting my plants I found this on the leaves of a couple Jalapeños and it was not there last night

It was not there last night and the plants are otherwise healthy. It looks like sections of the leaves are gone any ideas. Last night I did give em a foliar spray with Epson Salts mixed 1tbsp to one gallon of water. Maybe the combo of spraying then back under the lights burned them ??I'm sure someone out there has seen this before

When you spray them, never put them under the light when they're still wet. It'll burn the leaves.

So is that what that is?? It looks like sections of the top side of the leaves are gone?

It looks like "sun burn". Did you folliar feed them and stick them back under lights? That will burn the leaf. Try bottom watering.

I have done it before without problem I bet it was the Epson Salt drying on the leaves. Thanks guys!

if thye are outside i would check them very good as i had something similar that turned out to be a little caterpillar it was making the sections it ate almost transparent. if they are indoor i would still check just to make sure.

They are indoors ... I didn't see any bugs but the description is exactly what you said.

Then yeah, from what you described, probably burn from spraying them under the light.
