I have posted this on Garden Foes and also on the Peppers forum but nobody seems to know what it can be. Sorry I don't know thebvariety.
I wondered if it could be pesticide damage but the plant has continutued to grow and set flower so I am baffled.
Please take a look at the following photos.
Another
sister plant for comparison
I certainly looks like herbicide damage. I can't think what else it could be.
They can still keep on growing if they only get a small dose.
Thanks Patbarr - I agree because I don't know of anything else. What's that herbicide that makes everything grow at a such a rapid rate that the plant kills itself?
Round up or Glyphosate isopropylamine salt. I use it and your damage looks chemical, but it doesn't look like the damage I have seen from round up. Did someone use a sparyer that had been contaminated with another chemical, on or near your peppers? I have seen damage like yours from cleaning products. They look so sad, hope the recover.
They aren't my plants - belong to a chilli forum buddy. I was interested in what had caused this but haven't heard back yet as to whether he used herbicide near them. It's gotta be that though don't you reckon. What else does that? I'll mention clenaing products and see if it rings a bell with him. People aren't really aware of the content of some of these products.
Cheers all

Appreciate your insite as to what this could be. So far we have one contender - herbicide damage. Any more?
