Pepper leaves shriveling up
Comments (5)If you think it is too much fertilizer you can water the plant heavily to help flush some away from the root zone....See MoreGhost pepper leaves falling off, curling under
Comments (12)Maybe replace that Halogen with a CFL. THey can be put within an inch of the plant as they give off almost no heat unlike a Halogen. Removing the heat mat is a good idea as habjolokia said. Also, I dont know what kind of fertilizer you are referring to but if it is liquid, and you are dumping a straight 1/4 shot glass with watering, you may be way over fertilizing. The liquid I use is a 9-3-6 and it is supposed to be cut at the rate of 1 tsp per gallon of water. If yours is a similar ratio, you are probably way overdoing it. Just read the directions and follow them. You may also want to consider a fert with a bit different ratio. Yours is pretty low on the Nitrogen side and high on the Potassium side. That would be a fertilizer maybe better suited to a mature plant that is ready to or already putting out blooms and fruit. But my first guess is that the lighting is your major problem.

Comments (2)If you go to ask the experts at the top of the web page and put in key word pictures it will tell you how to insert a picture. Sound like either too much water or lacking nutrients.My bhuts were doing that so I cut back on the water, sprinkled a tiny hand full of bone meal,and some 15,30,15 fertilizer.Now they are looking perky....See MoreNew Leaves on Jalapenos Shriveled; small specks under leaves
Comments (10)I know it's hard to see, but it's mostly affected my hot peppers(especially my jalapenos, which are isolated from my other hot peppers). Mostly it's just that all new growth is very crinkled and puckered... When I looked close, there were small black spots on the undersides, and white spots on top. Neither of which really seemed to move....See Morehabjolokia z 6b/7
