Outdoors in pots (not sure of size), soil is organic coco seed starting soil, airy and light.. good drainage. Dont know the soil ph, i dont have a way to test it. I dont ph my water either, i just give it hose water. These problems just recently started... is it a deficiency? if it is what is it? My feeding schedule consisted of 30% (or so) strength organic fish fertilizer and I feed every other week or so with a plain watering inbetween feedings. I have not fed my plant for the last 2 weeks though. Anyways, heres the pics and thats all I can really say about these plants.. they are just bag seed.

i know theres a bug problem i cant get 100% control of.. ive been spraying that stuff on my plants off and on every couple of days.. is that stuff helping to kill my plant? it says it can be used on fruits and veggies up to the day of harvest.
thanks for the help

looks like heat stress on top of the bugs

what heat u exposing it to?
well its been very hot lately, 95+ with 80%+ humidity. I thought the heat may be a bit much for it so I moved it into a shadier area that doesnt get any direct sunlight. Should i just move it indoors and place them in a window sill until the heat drops a little?

Ill try that and see what happens over the next couple days until the temps drops off. we are close to 100 degrees today... the news said the heat index is something around 110 degrees (feels like). Guess i should have figured that'd be too hot for them lol, hope its not too late :) thanks for your input.

It looks like a potassium deff to me .
You should throw some kelp meal on top of your soil, till it in.
Then water with a compost tea, it'll fix her up.
Over fertilized leafs affect the lower branches first, not new growth too. Plus burning starts at the leafs tip, not on the sides. So im almost sure its potassium.

I think its potassium defiency as well. i looked at a chart and it seems to appear thats what it is... either way they were hungry so i fed them and they perked up a LITTLE bit.. i have organic fish fert (5-1-1) which i dont think will have enough K... is kelp meal something i should be able to find at lowes or home depot? we dont have any gardening shops around except for one nursery and they are kinda expensive so id like to avoid going there if at all possible but if not i can put some money aside to get something with high K

is the stuff im spraying on my plants ok? i spray once a day for 3 days then let it rest for a week and continue spraying when i see bugs... i took a pic of the ingredients.
