Jalepenos are yellowed, all other varieties fine?

indigosand · April 24, 2013

Hi everyone! I planted many varieties of peppers this year, sweet roasting, bell, and lots of jalepenos of course to make salsa! I started all my seedlings in the same potting mix, same type of pot, same time and lighting. When I set them out they were all the same. I planted them in the same area with the same soil conditions.

Now all the other varieties are growing, green and looking good but my jalepenos have yellowed to a sickly key lime color. All of those plants, and ONLY them. Thoughts? I find it difficult to imagine there's a nitrogen problem due to the others being normal and I dumped my chicken's bedding on this plot all winter long and let it mature. What else would cause this? I also watered with fish emulsion a couple weeks ago.
