Russ,
I asked my 85-year-old Italian uncle who has been growing peppers and
just about everything else since way back in the 20's when he was a boy
on a farm and here is what he said about the pepper problem. Hope it
helps... Terry
I never had that on my pepper plants.
But I did have a very similar problem with my tomato plants once. The
nursery man said it was leaf curl, or leaf mold, and to get rid of all
the plants that have it, at once. To me it seems both plants are
infected. Notice the tiny spots on the lower leaves of the #1 picture of
the 2 good ones. It may be the start of problems for them as well. My
opinion is the seeds were contaminated by a diseased Parent plant.

Russ ,
your plant looks like it may be suffering with Aphids.

Nope. These plants have never been outside and they're clean as a
whistle.
Thirty-two pepper plants and only this one exhibits these symptoms.
That's
why I also posted photos of its sibling plant... it looks perfect and
they've been side-by-side for almost 3 months. Any other ideas? Thanks,
Russ
