Thats what I thought. I have seen it before in Plants in my Garden. Got a soil test kit and found my Nitrogen way low.
Dont have that problem any more cause I grow Organic and amend my own soil.
LOL,,yeah I have seen seedlings flipped to 12/12 that looked like that. We had some Peeps here grow outta Med Bottles. Was funny,,but very cool.

Just adding N will not help if you are locked out the plant will not uptake the N. If you are feeding it organically you need to make sure you have a good micro hurd in that soil. If you are using Chemical nutrients you need to make sure everything you give the plant, nutrients and water is ph'd properly. 6.3-6.8. I ph everything to 6.5 and use sweet lime in my soil to buffer everything.
Yep,,,your PH is everything Bro. Without a proper PH balanced soil,,NPK wont uptake properly.
What soil is your Peppers growing in?

No sweet lime just helps stabilize ph and I believe it brings some magnesium as well as calcium to the table as well.
Found this online...maybe it will help you understand.
Growing Cannabis With Mycorrhizae
Mycorrhizae are soil organisms that have a close, symbiotic relationship with the plants rhizosphere. The word mycorrhizae actually stems from the latin words mycor (fungus) and rhiza (root). The mycorrhizae and roots form a sort of tissue that enlarges the surface absorption area of the roots by 100 to 1000 times. Mycorrhizae create thousands of tiny filaments or threads that act like an extension of the root system. This not only increases the plants ability to uptake water but also the ability to uptake vital nutrients.
Medical marijuana plants with supplemented mycorrhizae will never be held up by the inability to uptake nutrients. This is very important for indoor horticulturalists that spend vast sums of money on high powered lighting and CO2 enrichment designed to maximize photosynthesis. Mycorrhizae also increase resistance to environmental stresses like drought or cold and reduce shock associated with transplanting. Supplemented mycorrhizae will increase a plants efficiency and may even require a reduction in fertilizer concentrations.

A PH pen for Nute solution,,or water. Soil test kit for soil. I use soil test kits to see how my NPK is and PH sometimes. Also I check what kind of soil I have by using a method I found online. For type of soil,,I took a Mason jar fill about 1/2 way up with soil,,and water and shake. set it down and check in 24 hrs. you will see the different layers of Silt ,sand ,clay,and etc. Cant remember exactly right now,,but you can look it up on the net. Anyway it lets you know if ya have to much Clay or Sand,,and gives ya an idea of how good your drainage will be,,which is very important.
