Please help diagnosing sick pepper plant

8 years ago

Hi folks. I've got a sick pepper plant that I would love to get some help with. I've spent hours searching online but nothing seems to clearly match what I'm seeing. Here are some pictures.

It's been pretty wet here for the last few weeks, so I thought maybe an infection of some kind, but as I mentioned, it just doesn't seems to match any of the pictures or descriptions I found. Could it be a nutrient deficiency of some kind? Or some sort of insect damage? Its not easy to see in the pictures, but the new leaves in the center seem to be pale and sort of misshapen.

I've also got some tomato seedlings that have some strange spots on them. I thought at first they may be related, but the symptoms seem to be different. I can take pictures of them as well if it would help.

I got the plant at a sale at the Rodale Institute along with two other pepper plants. When I transplanted them, i mixed in some espoma tomato tone. They were also watered once with a weak dose of espoma grow liquid fertilizer. All three were in close proximity since i purchased them, and this is the only plant showing any symptoms.

Thanks in advance for any help.
