pics Problem with leaves (pics added)

Hey everyone,
 
I had a problem with my leaves wich are wrinkled and in weird shapes.
 
I went to the plant store and they looked at them with a magnifying glass and they told me it was 'Spint'
Now i can't find the english word for 'Spint' so here is a picture :

I treated them with "Masai 20 WP"  wich kills 'Spint'

Now i am .... well i don't believe them lol :D
All the info i can find on the internet gives the explenation of not enough calcium in my plants ....
 
SO here are the pictures of the plants before i treated them :

Those were the not so hot peppers, i also have a couple of super hots that look like this :

Now i have treated them with the product that i posted above,
and i have removed all the terrible wrinkled leaves.
They seem to be producing a lot of good looking healthy leaves,
but i think it is too soon to say if that product has solved my problem ....
 
 
Also the super hots all have been sunburned badly so i don't know if that is the reason their leaves are like that ....
I also removed the terrible sunburned leaves on the super hots,
and they also seem to be growing much healthy'er leaves ...
 
In a week or 2 i will make a new post with how they are looking and see if it has or not solved my problem with the leaves,
But what do u guys think ?
 
What i find is not enough calcium ...
 
Please give me your thoughts on all this and if i should add anything ...
 
 
PS: I have never added any fertilizer or annything, they have been in that soil from the beginning.
Ground composition:
Dry matter : 25%
Organic matter : 22%
PH: 5-6, 5
fertilizer: NPK 16-7-15
Added pellets of fertilizer: NPK magnesium 15-10-12
perlite
fertilizer based on calcium

Looks like spider mites
 
So this type of ... damage to the leaves is caused by spider mites ?
Or did u mean that the picture of me looks like spider mites ?
 
Thanks for your time :)
 
Just that the picture is of spider mites, thought you might like to know the English. Spider mites can cause leaf curl, don't know for sure if they are your problem.
 
Spider mites can cause distorted leaves, when there is a lot of damage, but your problem looks more like calcium deficiency to me.

Calmag would be good. Using a complete balanced fertilizer all the time would be easier than adding individual minor elements.
