chinense peach bhut SS leaf weridness

[moruga welder]

I think Capcom & Moruga Welder has it right first its environmental because she was fine before being moved into plant room 2 Frank (Moruga Welder ) had a similar thing happen to one of his peach bhut SS So I took his advice & topped it.
It was in another location in plant room 2 & probably did not get enough light.
She behind her four big brothers but I now know she will take off in time & be bushier than the others .
I looked at the leaves before I topped it they was coming out of it no bugs.

 

 
This is the plant going strong  .

Ajdrew might be right, look for Golden Thrives with a magnifying glass in the leaf buds. They like to eat the tender borders of the leaves before the buds open, that'll deform your leaves and make them curl like yours. You'll know you got those if the borders of the leaves come out burnt looking right off the bud, try some some diluted in water Tordon or dish washer drops and apply it with a fine brush and make sure it goes inside the crevices in the buds as that's where the thrives hide and makes it so hard to spot. Also look for other plants neaby that have the borders of the leaves deformed and burnt looking, that's where they're coming from.
Here is my choco hab with its normal leaves and how deformed they started coming out suddenly, turns out those microscopic bastards were pesting a plant 3 feet away. They look like a 12/1 of an inch blond hair.
