I have several types of Aji and all seem to exhibit this same, appears to be trait where all the leaves curl up and inward tightly long their long axis. I know pictures are a great deal of help but access to a camera at the time of posting was not possible. I was kind of hoping this was a common occurrence that could be clarified without the pictorial aid. I will supply later if not the case. .

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
What is it about Aji?
- Thread starter CAPCOM
- Start date
What's your lighting setup?
okee dokee. 1000w dimmable HPS running @750w. Aji cito is roughly 28" below light 1st 2 pics. The next 2 pics 7 pot barrackapoire, orange manzano, white Peruvian hab and a pimenta de neyde are roughly 10" further due to size location and size of growing container.
I was concerned with that. I placed my hand much closer to the bulb then the plants are and there was no discomfort whatsoever. I also have a oscillating fan blowing over the entire growing area. room temps @750w get up to 85-90 running a 12/12 cycle.ajijoe said:

When you say " been working on the aphids", how big of a problem do you have? Those first couple pics are of plants that really look like crap. Something is seriously wrong.
Mites cause leaves to curl down so you can rule that out if it isn't aphids. Never had to deal with a large aphid infestation so I'm not sure what the extreme damage looks like.
I LOLed at the last part. While it is true technically, at least you can now, and IL is "will" issue. I think it takes an act of God to get a permit in NY or CA and other "may" issue states.
WHOA!!! What are you feeding those things? Are those leaves as crispy as they look, like dried herbs? If your other plants didn't look so good, and you hadn't made the mention of no feeding yet, I'd swear we have a case of severe overfeeding. Those sure do look like they're getting fried!I use MG potting soil also, and have never had that issue, so that rules that out. I dunno..... maybe you got a "sick" batch of seeds? I grew aji limons in MG last year with no notable issues. I know this doesn't help much, but good luck!
I have released over 3000 ladybugs since Feb. As of now, they are in check. but I cannot afford any quarter as they multiply very quickly. Aphids and an indoor grow is devastating. I may someday post pictures of the devastation they can inflict, but not today.Jeff H said:
Maybe after I am SMOKIN' HOT.
Yes, I agree. the last part is really only technically correct when considering may or shall. But I have to hand it to some of the pro gun politicians who negotiated the final bill. guns can print and/or must be partially concealed.
No, I know why you ask as they do appear to be dried out but they are not crunchy at all. they are quite tender.Buzz said:
UPDATE.
The Aji cristal that was in as bad of shape as the Aji cito pictured has begun to form buds. as a matter of fact all my Ajis have recovered and will survive to produce pods. It was the lighting that was causing the issue I just have not gotten the light intensity , distance figured out yet.

Looks like aphid damage! Just saying!
Are there thrips in your neighbourhood? Thrips damage on newly budding leaves can also cause crinkling. Ultra hard to see and they have strong dietary preferences (for example, the thrips I find in my environment go munching in the order of: ginger, thai hots, cayenne, and then any other plants I have potted).
