I started some super hot seads back at the beginning of April. In May i took the biggest of them at the time and put them in some grow bags. All of them ate different varieties, but right now the top leaves are all looking like this.
Does this look like a watering issue, a nutrient issue, or something else? I was having problems with the leaves cracking in the middle when they first got outside, but that issue seems to have stopped.

I was concerned myself with my RB003 looking like this and I didn’t know if it was mites or a virus or something else. I don’t know if it had anything to do with the unique qualities of that particular plant. What I can say is that so far the plant seems very productive with pepper growth, so I am not worried about it. I have treated all of my plants the same way. The one similar to your picture is just a one-off plant for me.
Viral infections tend to produce a mottled or mosaic yellow/green pattern on the leaves and is fairly distinct, similar to interveinal chlorosis, but the pattern is more haphazard and random in appearance.
