I'm new here and pretty new to growing peppers. I've had a orange scorpion growing for the past few months and recently topped. after doing so it started producing buds, I pinched one of them off about 2 nights to keep root growth going. and as of this morning I noticed quite abit of the foliage is wilting/sagging. so I decided to give it more watering and sprinkled some epsom salts around the base of the plant. I water it once or twice a week normally. it gets plenty of light. zero pests. and keep it in good temperature in my room. if anyone can possibly help me out I would highly appreciate it

I'm heavily confused as well. since I watered it about 2 hours ago its standing out pretty now. maybe didnt give em enough water and was stressed. but the color looks like that due to have 2 LED clamp lamps on it around it and because of my camera. I am thinking it lacks some nutrients it needs due to some of the odd shaped leafs.

It could be a stray seed in your grow medium? Seriously, most likely you've been nurturing some random weed - it happens. 
 
This is my Yellow Scorpion plant:

the only way to know is to let it grow. I hope that's not the case though. I've been putting alot of hard work into this

It must be hard to accept it. I'm sorry.
 
The best you can do is to start few more seeds before is too late or get a plug plant. 
 
 
Just to make sure, could you please post couple more close pictures of your plant?

That doesn't look like a pepper plant to me but I may be wrong.

Ya, the leaf tips are round. The buds look unusual too, but they're out of focus. So, idk...

I've been growing peppers since the mid-90's and seen thousands of pepper pix.. That is not a pepper IMO.
 
Keep us updated.
 
Definitely not a pepper plant. You should probably get rid of it because it may not be benign, some plants are poisonous to people or pets. 
 
On the other hand, at least you stoped putting your efforts into something that is not what is supposed to be and you have just enough time to start again.
 
Good luck next time. :)
 
I got some unknown pepper that is growing next to it so I'm definitely ripping it out. so sad... just started germinating a few more scorpion seeds. so yeah definitely better luck next time.

Alllllmooost looks like it could be an eggplant seedling, definitely not a pepper though.
