health Diagnosis Help (yellow spots, brown edges)

Second year grower, first year starting inside. I thought maybe the yellow spots I had seen developing recently had been trauma from hardening off in partial sun this past weekend but they're continuing to develop. Feel free to tell me to settle the f*** down, or if I do have a problem, any suggestions would be appreciated. I'll be doing some reading tonight on what it could be.
 
They did get too dried out earlier this week, due to me being away longer than I thought I would be, but bounced back once watered. I've taken to bottom watering them now, all cups are punctured in the bottom so I set them in a cookie sheet filled with water and let them absorb water that way. I've started adding Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-2-4) at the recommended levels in the past week or so.

settle down.  Plants take longer to correct and take on damage.   It looks like some of the leaves lost that "sheen" that healthy growth has.  This is an indicator to sun scorch.   Just keep the plants watered, and try putting the plants on the North Side of your house for a couple days instead of giving them direct sunlight.   
 
Relax.  
 
Couple questions: 

What medium are you growing in? 
 
Are you bottom watering?  
 
What fertilizers are you using?

Growing in Nature's Care potting mix for now, in solo cups. 
I just started bottom watering this week, had been from the top prior to that.
Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-2-4).
 
Just worrisome that some leaves are yellowing so much. I hadn't fertilized as much as I should, as early as I should have, so I'm hoping they show improvement over the next few weeks.

I'm sure they will. Peppers tend to be really hardy for what they are.
