Did the leaves get wet when you watered them. Looks like sun scorch to me.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

I'm not sure but I'm very interested. Hopefully someone will be along soon who knows.....
Where are you keeping them?
Have you fed them recently?
How many of the leaves are affected?
Is it just the veins going brown or is there any other discolouration or leaf curling?Comment

I though that maybe be the case but the veins are brown and the rest looks green...Originally posted by bramble View PostComment

The leaves could have got wet but its unlikely the leaves affected are ones that got wet and the others didn't. all the leaves around 2/3rds up the plant are affected (8 total) though 2 just have a slightly browned tip. The affected leaves seem to have gone slightly crinkly as well as the discolouration though the worse discoloured one has not gone crinkly.
Its kept on a west facing window sill, has not been fed ever. The discolouration seems to be mainly in the veins but spreads out of them on some leaves.Comment

Probably as Bramble had suggested then. Leaves have been scorched from water on the leaves while in the sun. I water my chillies from the bottom.Comment

I've had that before. Leave eventually turn yellow and drop. Not a major problem but if you are worried just snip the affected leaves off.Comment

I can see that leaves above and below look healthy so something happened at a specific point in time to this plant (these plants). It could be lots of different things but as the plant has grown on, I would just accept that these are probably going to fall off. I would however, say you really should be feeding it. The nutrients in potting compost only last for about 6 weeks. While it has no flowers it needs Nitrogen (N) (pee mixed with water is great) once a week. Once it starts flowering and setting fruit it needs something like a tomato feed - high Potash (K) and Phosphate (K).Originally posted by simon12 View Post
I use comfrey tea that I make myself from plants but you can buy the pellets to make the mix or buy a tomato feed. If you only have one plant they are going to seem very expensive but will last and can be used on other plants in your garden."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!Comment

i have the exact same problem.
My treasured plants are suffering the same problem, these photos are a few days old, the colouration has become much darker hence more apparent. Please if anyone has any ideas what it may have been.Comment

Could you be over watering or over feeding? They should be kept on the dry side of damp and I feed mine weaker but often.Comment

What does the rest of the plant look like, any photos of the whole plant? If it's only a problem on 2 or 3 leaves, don't worry about it. Have you had them out in direct sun - they look sun scorchedOriginally posted by hydrochilligrower View Post
Are you feeding it? They don't need a feed until the first flowers show.Last edited by Scarlet; 15-06-2014, 08:26 AM.Comment
