Hi Michael
I have the same problem when I was adding chemical fertilizer to the soil
also some leaves were turning purple, the only solution and very effective
was transplant the seedlings to another soil with no chemicals and fertilize
with organic compost.
It worked very fine, although some leave's tips remained brown and dead, It
appears to stop the drying of the leaves and now they're green healthy, and
still remain on the pepper plant.
I'll never use again chemicals for my peppers.
(Another reason for this could be too much watering) But it wasn't my case.
Hope it helps
Daniel
