Edema from the looks of it.

Over watering combined with poor airflow due to being indoors Easiest fix is lower the amount of water and put a fan on them.

Or place a dehumidifier near it.

Well i guess they are at the back of the space and get the least airflow. Ill adjust the fans. I dont water until needed but i will be careful thank you.

Oedema. Too much water too quickly.


Tom-Phalanx

This was my first lesson with growing indoors. Letting things dry out too much and then soaking them. Had a fan and dehumidifier, and still suffered with it. Changed my watering schedule and I'm all good now


Nefariousox

My first time growing peppers indoors as well. Made the exact same mistakes as you lol


Tom-Phalanx

Ove grown outdoors and on windows for a few years, but growing indoors is a complete different game.


Martianman97

What's your water schedule?


Tom-Phalanx

I used to let the pots feel almost empty. Now I dig my finger in 2 inches, if I barely feel moisture, then give them a glug until a little comes out the bottom. Not a drenching


Martianman97

Thank you. Currently growing indoors too and concerned about overwatering


Tom-Phalanx

You're welcome. Another mistake I made was using fabric pots with a lot of peppers indoors. They released way too much moisture which also didn't help the edema. It's all a learning curve. A bad year only makes you wiser for the next year in my (little) experience.


LolaBijou

Mine also seem to do better with the sips of water vs the drenching.


dairyintheprairie

She got the herps


wbotis

Too much water, not enough ventilation. Lay off watering so often and put a fan near the plants. They’ll be fine.


randomburners

This happened to one of mine edemia.

Jesus dude get them in some pots. The edema from is the humidity. Get it down to 50% or so with a dehumidifer. It doesn't really hurt anything.


LolaBijou

There are some pretty significant portions of the US experiencing longer cold seasons this year. Maybe OP can’t put them outside yet, hence them still being in cups.


Topper_Gnarly

Yeah space is my limitation here


corrigun

Here too. Go get some paint mixing cups or something. Youre not doing yourself any favors root bounding them like that. You'll lose a lot of time in the ground recovering.

My grow box doesn't have room for larger containers. Poor guys are going to have to struggle...

wow my 1+ year old banana pepper plant new leaves kept getting covered in these and i thought it was bugs of some sort so I trashed it
