Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

about 3.5 grams per gallon of water will yield around 300mg/l of calcium.
water it into the soil.

Foliar feeding is not without its risks...
Putting it into the soil for the roots is a better option in my opinion.

are you sure its deficient? there could be something going on in the soil that is causing Ca to be lock out from uptake. just saying. and lots of my leaves get wrinkly from time to time and i jsut let them be as they keep growing and pushing fruit, could be a case of the over worrier!
Foliar feeding is perfectly safe as long as you use 1/2 the normal mixture or slightly below and mist the leaves with distilled water the next day to clean the stomata.
Pics? aphids can make leaves look like that as well.

I am curious as to why foliar feeding is such a risk and root feeding is not?
I foliar fed every week on last years crops without any problem whatsoever.
Let me take a pic
lol, those plants look fine.
some leaves look chewed on, but otherwise they look fine to me.

I agree but only for the first month or so, after that you need to add some fertilizer.
