My two favorite peppers that I'm overwintering have been struggling since transplant. They had a run in with aphids that i had to eventually put down with systemic imidacloprid. I put the changes in foliage down to transplant stress and the various treatments, but now I'm worried it's something else.
My datil has had most of its original leaves die by going pale and developing brown tips before falling off. More strange, is the fact that on some leaves the veins are yellowing. Even some of the young, new growth, is falling with bright yellow veins.
The Aji Chombo started by having the leaves looking chlorotic, but now they have deformations as well. It is putting out new growth, which looks pale, but has not (yet) shown the uneven color or deformarion.
I am begining to suspect something other than stress, nutrients, water, etc. If I'm right, I may need to remove them and scour my equipment. I have seedlings starting to sprout for next spring, and I don't want to put all of next years grow at risk.
I wont bias anyone by saying what I suspect. I just hope I'm wrong. Please take a look at the pics, and let me know what you think...
