Cold country, small balcony, grow accordingly 2020

Hello and a warning: this is going to be boring and small grow located in finland, mainly for keeping record.
 
This is my 4th or 5th season and 2nd in the same appartment. I have a small windowed balcony facing so, that in the summer sun hits it from ~12 to late evening between 18-22 if I remember correctly.
 
Last summer I had 2x aji fantasy, 2x harold st bart as main plants, then amashito wild and moruglah in a more shady spot. Results were nice for aji fantasies, got around 2kg overall from them and maybe 500+g from harolds. This year I'm not going to waste space with  chinenses, the conditions just aren't there.
 
This years grow will be:
2x Challuaruro
2x Jalapeno orange spice
1x aji fantasy x harold st bart (if seeds viable, own cross)
1x spanish giant.
 
I have a tent for germinating and getting to summer, 120x60x180 sized, so 2'x4'x6'. Seeds will hit the rockwool next week, will put out pics then. My growlight is solux twin 2x55 tubes, 6400k and around 10 000 lumens.
Basicly plan is, rockwool -> coco coir with maybe perlite/vermiculite, final pots will be pots with water reservoir below, acts kinda like passive hydro with coco.

That is my now 3yo starfish.
 
edit what is the best way to up pics? can I upload them to place X and embed link here?
 
The first couple look like sun scald, don't know
about the third. That looks like something took
a bite out of the pepper.

Yeah, and that is not only one with a hole at end.

And also what is that white stuff? Like spiderweb but a lot finer.

You got me there, buddy. I imagine someone
here will know what it might be.

Hope so. Had that kinda thing once, that time it ended being a nest to somekinda butterfly or something similar. But that is not it.

After doing a little search on google, I’m thinking
you might have mealy bugs or scale residue. It
doesn’t look like powdery mildew, but could be
some kind of related thing.
 
I just googled “white cotton-like clumps on pepper leaves”
 
BTW do you have a magnifying glass or loupe you
could use to could examine the clumps?
 
So thats my spanish giant.... Atleast found my Enemy, seems like some kinda stinkbug? Any ideas?
All hot peppers and all maters next to it are fine.

Looks like a combination of sun scald and BER.
 
Not familiar with stink bug damage. I don't like
any true bugs on my plants.
 
Maters are a hopeless mess.. and that fence is about to be renewed...
Challuaruros keep on pushing pods
Orange Spice acting funny, probably that sudden cold weather

It is almost a MUST to have some kind of support on tomatoes.
I have about 12 orange spice plants from 3 different vendors, I think six were producing correct pods with decent looking plants.

There is some support, I just didn't anticipate that they outgrew those in a week.. as I put them in old clayish soil only for test purposes..

My first pods were on pheno and some still are. Just something wrong with those ones.
