People aren't going to like it but I top dressed during flower with this https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Gro-3002610-Vegetables-Continuous-Release/dp/B01NCL2THZ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505956809&sr=8-3&keywords=shake+n+feed
Also added some azomite and crushed oyster shells. Gave a couple light feedings of overdrive the past couple weeks but that is the only thing I pre mixed before feeding.
Couple o' things come to mind. Obviously you've got some chlorosis which is indicative of nutrient deficiencies, the main ones probably being nitrogen, and possibly iron or magnesium. Just spitballing off the limited info I have, it can be due to...
Overwintered peppers (with exceptions) often look like this.
There's many other things that can cause leaf loss and chlorosis, but honestly I think what I mentioned are the most likely culprits. Other causes can be water stress, both over and under watering, heat stress, chemical burn due to over-fertilizing or use of oil-based pesticides in hot conditions... the list goes on.
I'm not sure what zone you're in or how cold it actually is where you are. If you're in zone 9b and above, you probably still have enough weeks of active growing season left to remedy this. Give it a well-rounded organic fertilizer... I've had great luck with this.
Good luck friend!
I believe I’m using this Miracle Gro Shake n Feed from Home Depot, I don’t believe mine has the “plus Calcium”, so that may be it
