sun SUN SCAAAAALD

[cheezydemon]

Unexpectedly, my veteran overwintered peppers developed a mild case, while the seedlings were like "THAT ALL YA GOT?????"

Suprised me.

No worries, all are OK, but wanted to save anyone else with overwintered beauties from a little scar tissue.

It can certainly be a pain cant it

No problem with the over winters - they stayed outside all winter. I did burn a couple of sprouts by leaving them in direct sun for their first day of life. Rescued one of them but it still has one white leaf.

......Yeah, sorry. 3 kids and a sick wife leaves little time to post, let alone take pics and upload and paste.

It looks like patches of gray dead tissue on the upper most leaves, and on lower leaves which jut out and recieve direct sun.

It is fairly easilly identifiable on a plant with lots of leaves, because inner leaves are untouched.

Odd, my seedlings are still out in full sun with no problems. I had to move my veterans into the shade!

I'm surprised this leaf didn't wither and die like it would have from frost damage. And the color might be coming back a little.

I lost very few leaves entirely, but there was scarring.
