Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Can anyone ID what's happening to my plants?

one of my scotch bonnet in hydro is doing the exact same thing. started abot a week ago. yesterday i took it out of hydro and washed its roots in warm water. think i will wash the roots again today but add some baking soda to the water. this time i may trim the roots as well.
i am thinking perhaps its not absorbing enough of one of the macronutrients or getting too much of another. it does get a splash of epsom salt mist frequently.
i have several other plants in the hydro centre but none of them are showing any signs.
can you look at the roots and see if they are white or turning brownish?

What does the underside of the leaf look like? Just shooting from the hip, it looks like some kind of pathogen (bacterium, fungus, virus, etc.). It could be some sort of nutrient issue like BC was getting at but I'm looking at the circles with the black rings. Could be fungal fruiting bodies.
Just as a suggestion, I would mix some baking soda in with your water and spray down the leaves.

Could it possibly be a little bit of sunburn?
Exactly what I was thinking! Or even what madhatter said.
It definitely looks like burn to me.
Hmmm happening in the past week eh! looks like a classic case of radiation poisoning/burning. How close are you to Fukishima.
The roots do have a brownish shade to them. I'll try the baking soda idea and post my results.
Thanks,
Ben
Underside of leaf looks pretty much the same. I am going to spray the leaves and change the water this afternoon. Our seemingly endless storm has passed and we are in the clear for a while.
Thanks,
Ben
That's what I initially thought of the large tan areas. But the smaller brown areas are what gave me pause.
Ben
The storm that drove through did give them a beating. Aside from what I've mentioned, however, they withstood it pretty well.
Thanks,
Ben
About an oceans length in distance. :-)
All kidding aside, California did receive traceable amounts of certain elements but nothing to worry about.
Ben
Water droplets on the leaves while under the sun can cause small burns like that.
Yes, but it does nothing for your post count....
Definitely a possibility too.
i am thinking fungal
treat for fungus
i have some pubescens and tomatos am treating
for fungus with neem oil spray
if it is sun scald i guess would be
bigger gray then black spotting
the kelp meal to the dripline did not seem to stop the
spots and leaf drop
Xanthomonas may be the disease for you

i think you should isolate the ones that gots it
from those that do not have it YET
on another note found voracious caterpillars tonite
at my other grow sprayed the BT already
man they ate alot really fast

Exactly, i never water in full day time sun.. if the plants are outside.. :-) droplets act like magnifying lens. Cheers to another Ben in this world.
