Additional photo of Ghost Peppers, shriveling up dark green leaves,other leaves have some yellow spots and some dark purple areas at the point where the pepper stems come off the main stem. This is my third plant and first to produce peppers, 9 of them. Internet searches have not helped much, that is why I added the calcium, but the seems to not be the source of the infection. Something was eating and them, I could not see anything, but sprayed both sides of the leaves with soapy water.

Look up Curly Top Virus.
Other than that I have no clue.

Some things only come out after dark. Sometimes I go check on stuff at midnight. My sunflowers looked like the leaves were had some sort of bad spots developing, but I couldn’t see any thing.
The next thing was a few looked like cut worms got to them. After the hot and dryer weather got here, I checked the garden at midnight and found slugs.
The new stuff is doing great, but it’s so late I doubt that I’ll get any flowers or seeds this year. I’ll know next year though.
Johnny’s grown more peppers than I have ever even seen, so maybe he’ll know what’s up.

I would try the liquid seaweed/molasses mix spray, but that may not do it. I've never run into anything like that before. Maybe a local nursery can help if you take them a leaf.
