What is Wrong with My Sweet Pepper
We have had unprecedented heat here in the PNW over the last three days ....... but I noticed something strange with this plant a day or two before that ...... at first I thought I saw slug slim reflecting in the sun, but thought little of it ..... next day it seemed a few water droplets were on the leaves - but none of my other peppers had this issue
the variety is "Sweet Pickle" and I have two other plants of this variety that look fine ..... the plant has now been moved away from the others ... this is growing in a 2 gallon container (I do this every year) and was recently side dressed with Gaia Green 4-4-4 and topped with lawn clippings ... all plants have received lots of water to combat the heat

I think you did the right thing moving it away. I don’t know what you’re facing unfortunately. Maybe a bacterial leaf spot, some similarities to the second photo in the link below. But why just 1 plant?

Could it be leaf burn from the leaves having water on them during extreme sun?

thank you both for your response ......
the plant appears to be recovering, so I am thinking leaf burn and overwatering I will still keep it apart for a bit longer to make sure it is nothing nasty
