  Just to double-check - this is the one I want, right?   https://www.amazon.com/Botanicare-CNS17-3-1-2-Formula-1-Quart/dp/B00IGFJX0O

  I mean, depending on the species and some other factors, mature plants do tend to be taller, yes.   But I can say that I have some Poblanos and Cayennes that are taller than the affected peppers (but not as mature as far as flowering, sets of leaves, node growth, etc) that are not affected...

  Thanks! You've been extremely helpful!   How widely available is the CNS17 Grow?  Would I be able to find some at the local gardening store? It's a pretty big place.

  hmm... the plants exhibiting the curling behavior are all over the place as far as how directly the fan hits them. The only thing they have in common is that they're all among the farthest along as far as flowering and overall maturity goes, which is why a nutrient deficiency seemed like a...

  Ok - so maybe putting the organics in the raised beds so they'll break down slowly over the season, and utilizing a non-organic fertilizer for the time being might be best?   My hesitation to use AACT is mostly due to space constraints for the setup to make it somewhere, but I also don't...

  Thanks, I've already turned the fan down to low.   Is MG potting mix really high enough (unamended) in Calcium or Magnesium to cause the Potassium issue?

  Ok, thanks. I think we're on the same page, now.   To that end, assuming I'm able to contain my self and leave the plants be for now, and just focus on getting the regimen down - is the AACT really necessary, or just an added bonus? Assuming my watering schedule is regular, and I use the 3-4-4...

I'm a little confused by the differing opinions, here:     And then:  

  Thanks!   I'm using MG potting mix. I know a lot of people aren't in love with it, but I've not heard somebody say it causes issue per se (just that they like others better) and between a sale, rebate, and online coupon, I got 3 cubic feet at a local gardening store for 5 bucks total. I just...

  The "balance out" comment was from the assumption that my N level was already fine, but I may be lacking in the others.   The comment you have for Calcium supplementation is really what started this whole thread. My leaves are curling upward a little on some plants that seem otherwise healthy...

  Thanks for the info. That leads to 3 questions, if you don't mind answering:   1) I've got some MG plant food with the 24-8-16 ratio from last year. Should I use that instead? 2) My decision to add additional fertilizer was based on the notion that low Calcium may be causing the issue with...

  I was looking for low N because the Miracle Gro fertilizer is 24-8-16 as far as I can tell, and that, coupled with the fact that someone else commented that I have plenty of Nitrogen, made me think I could balance out better with a lower N fertilizer. And it's not so much that the N is low on...

Ok, I'll give that a try. I won't notice a difference for a while I'd assume? Meaning the leaves already affected won't totally rebound, but new growth will show improvement?

I've purchased some Espoma garden-tone and tomato-tone. I figured, based on some above comments, that an organic, low Nitrogen, high Calcium fertilizer might do some wonders for the leaf curl, and cutting back on the water might take care of the edema. Thoughts?

  hmm... I'm a little doubtful that I've got too much wind. The plants are big enough to start trying to flower, so if an oscillating tower fan on medium for 3/4 of the day is too much air for them, I'd think that would cause serious issues when they have to go outside in a month - right?

  Thanks!   I do have a decent sized tower fan running on them the whole time the lights are on, so I don't think air circulation is as likely a culprit as just plain too much water.

  That's certainly possible, as these were just watered the morning before this picture. That said, it was the first watering in a week, and it was far from what I would consider a heavy watering, as I was trying to use less water, per some previous advice that my soil was too wet. Is once a...

  It's definitely helpful!   The bag said 3 months I think, but it's obviously not going to be true that the nutes included are equally sufficient for all different kinds of plants. I would imagine that with MG being a more general product, and tomatoes and flowers being more popular to grow...

  Thanks!   I can't remember the exact time they were transplanted. Pretty sure it's been about 5 weeks. Over a month and less than a month and a half almost certainly. And I was obviously encouraged to see that they're happy enough to start trying to flower - I just wanted to nip this problem...

http://imgur.com/a/DiAev   I'm starting to see the above happen to my peppers that have been transplanted into miracle gro potting soil for over a month. The peppers that have been in for 2 or 3 weeks or less are all fine and not exhibiting this behavior. Given that, I'm assuming it's not...
