Fuzzy warts?

[maxpowa]

I noticed something strange on some of my Dutch Red plants.

One had a hole in one leaf, some of the leaves also start to wrinkle.

When I took a closer look, I noticed some fuzzy warts on the underside of the leaves.

These plants are still in the lightbox with all the others, so I'm very scared of any disease or anything like that.

some pictures:

I've looked at images of common pepper diseases and couldn't find any that match these symptoms.

Anyone got any idea what this may be?

Would you move these plants away from the others?

Many thanks in advance,
Steven

It could be a sign of excess watering. Try to reduce watering and see if it helps. Here are few pictures of the plant that seems to have same kind of symptoms.

Yeah, that looks pretty much like the same condition.

Others told me this has to be caused by excess water. Weird thing is that it's only this one variety that has these symptoms, while others don't seem to be bothered in any way.

The symptoms also popped up after the plants have been transplanted to 9x9 pots, they had a nice sip of water at transplant, but didn't get any in the days after, it's only now when I watered them once again, that i noticed these bumps and damage.

Will provide more air circulation, cut down on the foliar spraying and give them even less water than before and see what happens.

Thanks for the advise, that's 4 or 5 people that told me the same thing, so it just has to be true.

Thank you,
Steve

Those pictures are mine, and it is true that those signs came when i watered those plants too much.
I think it´s plants way of "sweating". :roll:

Yeah, after some time, I agree that it's probably moisture related.

They got quite some water at repotting, which probably agravated the symptoms, after some drying and airing, they are doing just fine, growth doesn't seem to be affected either.

They're actually doing quite well today



The ones in the front are Aji Amarillo, the Dutch Red are in the box in the back.

:shock:

Can you already leave your plants outside? Here, even though we've had a few sunny days, it is still way too cold for outdoors

[maxpowa]

Yeah, it stunned me also. I put the thermometer outside and it showed temps between 22° and 26° C, that mulch heated up quite nicely. So I figured to let them bask in the sun for 20 to 30 minutes.

Today is another story, no sun and around 3°C, so things are back to normal (although on average that 10° to cold for this time of year)
