Well, I'm a little confused. I planted the Jalapeno M and Early Jalapeno gardens, 3 plants each on Bounties on 8/16/2020. On 9/07/2020 I moved one plant from each of these gardens to an Ultra to keep the extra plants going. I believe I accidently overfed the two Bounties on the second feeding. Both of those gardens have developed a nasty leaf curl on them. Today, they were due for their third feeding.
Well, the combination garden should also be due today, but it says 9 days left until the next feeding. I did change it to match the other gardens on days planted on 9/07/2020. In order to set my mind ay ease, I dumped the water from all 3 gardens and started fresh with 10 ml nutes and 10 ml of Mooch.
It's ironic the leaves on the plants on the combination garden are perfect, no leaf curl. They were exposed to the second overfeeding for a week before I moved them.

It is too darn easy to make little mistakes like that. I have done something similar. I hope they recover well.

I have a sick Jalapeno M plant here. I just dumped the water and put in fresh nutes a few days ago. Any ideas?  |

I don't know, Mike. I can't tell if it's a toxicity or a disease. It doesn't look like a deficiency to me.
ERR0R1755 seems to be pretty good in that area. Maybe he will know. |

That looks like it might be a potassium deficiency? Normally when I see something that looks like that, it's due to underwatering, but obviously that isn't the case here...
If you have any way to test the PH of the solution, that might also be worth checking. When I overfed my tomatoes and ruined the PH, the tips/edges started turning brown and the leaves started curling like that.

I pulled out my pH meter but it's shot. I haven't used it in two years. I'll have to wait to tomorrow to go to a hydro store.
Meanwhile, I added 4 ml nutes to see if that helps.

PH meters seem to go bad very fast - you may find it better/cheaper to pick up a PH drop bottle/test kit instead. I went through three PH meters before giving up.

OK, I'm not familiar with those. But I will get one. Thanks for the advice.

mike , I go cheap and just use the pH test strips from Amazon on the rare occasions I check. I don't need an exact number so the test strips are close enough for me.

Added 12 ml Nutes, 10 ml Mooch. These plants have been underperforming pepper-wise. Yes, there are peppers in there. But, when planted, there were three plants. I moved the smallest plant to the Combination Jalapeno garden to allow these to flourish. They didn't do a good job.  |

I guess not enough air circulation and space?

It looks to me like the foliage is too dense. Not enough light and air to the interior.

That picture looks like a small forest of pepper trees to me!
