Hi, I am Dan in Springfield MO. I just started growing bell peppers and need help with a problem. Thanks!

I am a first time pepper grower. I have 18 mature Bell Pepper Plants I started from seeds. They are all in 5 gallon buckets and currently fruiting.
I moved them indoors under grow lights a couple weeks ago as it is getting too cold for them out doors. Everything was great until a few days
ago, I noticed that some of the peppers have lost their shine. They are dull green with no luster. I fertilizer with 4-12-14 fertilizer on a regular basis
and everything was going so good until most of them turned pale. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Dan

What is your room temp? Light type & brightness?

Mars Hydro 3000 / 4500 watt grow light, room stays pretty warm, I will check the temp, I have a fan on the plants when the lights are on. Also have fungus gnats that I am trying to get rid of, light is very bright, i have it on 75% of max. I am going to get light meters to find out the brightness and try and get more control of the amount of light, just bought another 1500 watt mars hydro, going to put up today. Thanks

The plants look great. The peppers should be shiny. Why not?
As for the fungus Gnats. Have you tried? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3349831214...RL8deuUlVZgzHrT0I%3D|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:4429486
