Help please with problems

LA 2 the Bay

LA 2 the Bay

Ok so my bhuts look like this I planted them outside and they are yellowish I don't know if it's a deficiency of something




Any help is greatly appreciated. There were some leaf hoppers and they cut holes in the plant I think. I don't know what it is thanka guys.
 
this is what they can look like after transplant shock, as long as the new growth looks good then don't worry too much.
what is the white powder?
the tips are a lil burned did you overfert?
 
I am curious about that white powder also, is it diatomaceous earth?
 
The plants could be just shocked, definitely give them time before doing any changes, see how the new growth fares.
 
Also, just asking, have you grown anything in that soil before? If so, did it turn out well? I ask only because naturally I wouldn't be able to tell how rich/viable your soil is from my seat, but it does seem to have a lot of clay (not around the plants entirely, but more-so in the background). If you have not run anything in that soil before, AND the plants new growth over the next two weeks does not change, then I would consider new amendments to the soil. But if you have run plants in that soil before and they were healthy, then never mind about the soil (just troubleshooting).
 
The soil is clay soil. The person that used to grow stuff in it would grow random tomatoes and they would do ok. I amended the soil with compost compsot perlite and chicken manure. Other peppers in it have taken well except for the bhuts. The new growth does seem ok. The soil is clay so it did take some work but it's much better then how it was. The with stuff is diatomaceous earth to keep the softies away. I transplanted them about a week ago but the weather here is irregular hot last week in the 80s this week in 70s but windy every afternoon. Foggy this morning but that's the Bay Area for you. Thank you guys for the help. I'll wait and do nothing for a while see if they recover. Some are shedding leafs
 
Sounds like you are on the right track, it sounds like they will turn out just fine then. GL  and good vibes to you!

One thing I would add to your amendments (for future) would be worm castings. Black Gold!

I put my jalapenos out this year without acclimating/hardening off and they lost about 30% of their leaves. I just wasn't thinking straight when I put them outside this year for whatever reason. But they bounced back better than ever. I hope yours will too! I bet they will.

I have also found that copper collars or well placed [copper] wire helps with softies a lot. Though, diatomaceous earth provides some other nice things for the microbiology, so nothing wrong with it either.

At first, all that white powder, I thought I was back in the 80's!

Lol thank you for the good vibes. 80's Miami Vice days. I hope they pull through
 
To me, it does not. 
 
I first looked for edemas under the leaves, but cannot seem to see any. They would be little bumps on the underside of the leaf.  Second, I tried to see if there was any rot on the bottom 1 inch of the roots and they seem to be equally as healthy as the roots above. The soil is damp and the leaves are not drooping.
 
my opinion: I would say this plant is not over watered. Though it may have been over watered at some point before based solely on the algae, but that may not be a true indicator either.
 
 
The few leaves that are slightly sagging could just be part of the natural cycle where the leaves will "move" throughout the day/night. If all leaves were droopy, I would say maybe over watered. (Or an imbalance of nutes, though the plant looks decent in color and rigidity)
 
thank you mrgrowguy. I think this plant might be root bound and unhappy. I am moving it today. The roots were coming out of the drain holes and getting matted together. On the tag it says Jamaican red so well see what it turn up
 
I hear Jamaican Reds are damn good. Given not being a habanero fan myself, I would love to try a Jamaican one day (pepper, not the people. I don't eat people, not since the new year).

PS: not sure how it could be useful information, but I get green algae on the top layer of my clones that have been recently rooted and put in 4" pots because they sit under the dome for at least a week to acclimate to humidity and thus the soil never dries while it is in there.  But it only takes a week sometimes, so maybe this plant was watered pretty frequently lately since the green algae has not enveloped the whole topsoil. Meaning, with some love, there shouldn't be much of a set back at all. Just let that top 1 inch dry out a few times and that green will go away. Or, you can mix 1 tsp h2o2 with water in a sprayer and kill it, but definitely nothing to worry about.

Root bound... it definitely has been in that pot for about a solid month or slightly more, but I would say you still have some time before anything becomes critical.

This is my understanding of root bound levels (good you are working on yours early enough):
 
 
Lightly root bound

Moderately root bound

Heavily root bound:

Kill it with fire:

Sorry for all my posts and the sheer length, I was on break at work and can get pretty bored. (a few breaks, apparently)
 
Thank you for the info on rootboundness I moved it to a new home and seems happier. When I get some pods of it I'll be sure to send you a few for all your help. I have never tried these kind but they should be tasty
 
OK so I've been looking at my plants and the pardons are fine but the other hots and supers grow blossoms but they don't make it. The leafs have wrinkles not really folded but more like wrinkles. Also they are yellowish but not completely yellow and it can't be over water because the soil does dry. Also some of the new leafs grow wrinkled and yellowish
