Does anyone know what this could be on my cayenne pepper plant? I recently moved it to a bigger pot 3ish weeks ago. Its been growing steadily, I've been watering deeply once a week, and the temperature in the room is about 70 degrees consistently. On occasion I also using this mosquito bits to prevent fungal gnats and other pests.

Are you using a humidifier?
Perhaps mineral deposits from the water.

Here’s another pic of the full plant if it helps
your plants are on drugs
Over-watering or spider mites. Or both. Thrips is also a possibility…but I’d lean towards the other 2 first.
Never water on a schedule. Always water when needed only.
Mosquito bits don’t kill spider mites. Spider mites are very common on indoor pepper plants. You need insecticidal soap, neem oil, garlic oil…or diatomaceous earth.
Your plant needs to stop doing meth
Edema? Can be caused by watering or humidity issues. I have found some types of pepper plants are more sensitive to it. My indoor plants get it too
Growing indoors?
Gotta be edema. You can run all the fans and dehumidifiers in the world, run an absolutely perfect watering regimen, and somehow indoor pepper plants will still develop edema.
Happens to mine. After about a year of feeding chelated nutes .
Chelated in salt
I’ve licked them. Not salty
100% Oedema (or Edema for those the other side of the pond) very common in indoor peppers. High root pressure and low transpiration, so try and reduce your relative humidity.
