Mix of superhots, mostly reaper/habanero crosses. started and transplanted into fox farms happy frog. been going for like two months now and nothing but dropped flowers. Temps are stable as shown in the second pic. A little warm sometimes but i wouldn’t think enough to cause stress. Just started feeding with Down to Earth 4-6-2 fertilizer.
Oddly enough the one doing the best currently seems to be the little guy in the back right hand corner. Even though he started with another plant in the same jiffy pod and i had to really mess up his roots to get them separated.

Going to need to provide quite a bit more information.. let’s start with what light? PPFD reading at the canopy? Cycle? Nutrients? Your lows for both temperature and humidity are indeed quite low

Do you have any fans in the tent? Could be a lack of pollination. I see a lot of your leaves folding like tacos it’s possible the light is too close

They are turning yellow. They need more fertilizer

My guess is either too much lights or too much fertilizer.

What are the day/night cycle times?
Feed them some complete fertilizer with micro nutrients. I would recommend Osmocote or Nutricote(Dynamite). Don’t play around with adding individual nutrients. You can foliar spray them with chelated micronutrients to correct the chlorosis in the short term, however, they also need more fertilizer to the roots.

I see a little hint, did you plant these in peat pellets and not remove the casing when up potting? I see evidence of this. I had this as well and all my ones that I up potted with pellets still there really struggled due to root restriction.

More nutrients and airflow.
I would setup at least 1 fan on oscillating in your tent and get a decent intake/exhaust setup with high cfm fans, you need to move that air and it will help with polinisation. Getting flowers to set is the hardest part of growing inside, I gave up on soil a few weeks ago after trying for months and switched to dwc hydro and my first baby peppers just started showing up after about a month.

Are those pumas?

More nutrients and they look thirsty, but it also could be a fact of your lighting being too bright, a lot of leaves are curling up. Not always the case but, when my peppers are stressed from light they won’t product or grow, and the leaves curl up like that

Do you monitor ph? How often are you watering? What are you feeding? You most likely have some issue limiting uptake of vital nutrients. Root restrictions, ph fluctuations, lack of available nutrients, or overwatering are the most common causes. Make sure you allow some dry back before watering, but if they get too dry, the roots will suffer. I know this response is kind of vague. Would need more info on growing conditions to make any assumptions.
