powdery mildew.jpgpowdery mildew. the beginnings of it on your plants. Following the veins as they hold moisture longer than the flat surfaces.
this is not a tomato leaf in my picture but you see. It will get worse. antifungal asap and keep your plants dry as possible

Thanks for the advice. Plants had been dry, and are still small and are not close together, plenty of air flow. It just rained for the first time in over a week when this appeared...But tomorrow my plants will be having a milk bath. We do have humidity here, but again I am shocked considering the plants are not even close to touching yet. The plants themselves have had a tough start, so perhaps it weakened them.

some good info here. PM can develop regardless of rain and some plants are more susceptible than others.
best wishes, should be able to treat. let us know how it goes

High. Up over 8.6.

Ok guys, feel free to make jokes and make fun of me. LOL it is gravel dust. It has just settled in so much on some leaves I can't wipe it off. But on other leaves I was able to scrape it off, I just didn't go around to all the plants yesterday and try. So luckily nothing bad HAHAHAHA.

I'll make fun of you, but not without saying that I've done it too. One day I went out to water and found white crusty patches on one of my good pepper plants. I couldn't figure what it was. Fearing an aggressive fungus, I started to take pictures to get some help with a diagnosis. Then it hit me.

Hung above the plant was a red hummingbird feeder. In the wind, the feeder swung quite a bit and some of the super-saturated solution dripped down on the plant, where it evaporated leaving white crusty patches of -- sugar.



No, the foliar feeding of sugar didn't affect the taste of the peppers.
