Hi

Does anybody have an insight as to what is going on with my chilli plants? It seems to be affecting any leaves below the very top of the plant. Could they be overwatered or could it be disease/bugs? I've sprayed them with organic bug spray but to to avail.

They've been in the mini greenhouse for the last two weeks and brought into the house every evening to avoid the chilly (chilli!) nights before they go up to the allotment poly in May for their final potting.

I raised them in seed compost in a heated propagator and potted on using my home made compost (might it be something in that - I haven't had any problems with lots of other things I've potted on in that compost). Not done anything different this year from any other.

Any diagnosis and any suggestions would be welcome - it's a crucial crop in the Gleavo growing year! 

thanks!

Given the recent weather, hopefully just sun scorch - it's probably getting pretty hot in that mini-greenhouse; make sure it has ventilation - bubble wrap or fleece would help reduce the light and heat.
Try not to wet the leaves when watering.

Thanks @ growster - I've got bubble wrap and will open it up in the afternoons (still a bit nippy in the mornings here).

  OK Gleavo, here's the deal; if your chillies thrive, I get the credit - if they die, Growster gets the blame!

As JayG mentioned, are you watering from above?  If you get droplets on the leaves the sun can then burn scorch marks in them
