To me, this sounds most like excessive dryness, e.g. low humidity with high
temperatures. I can imagine too low a soil pH (i.e. too acidic) would also
cause such symptoms, and too much peat would definitely make the soil
acidic. Chiles don't like acidic soil, they like soil that is pretty close
to neutral (or maybe even pH 8?, all I remember is the part about wanting
soil pretty close to neutral).
