Whats wrong with my Pepper plants?? Raised Bed,Black Casting & Verma Plex..... PICS

My Bell Pepper/Jalo plant leaves appears to have what look like blisters or bubbling effect on them........This is my First "Veggie" Grow and im not sure what the problem is.....Everything else in the garden is thriving and exploding out of the Raised beds onto the concrete

These Pics are older before there was any Fruit blooming but the blister/bubbling still remains even now on ONLY the Bell Peppers/Jalopeno......Id like to correct this Pepper problem for next year... OR is this bubbling effect Normal?? And why is everything else looking so good and not the peppers?? The pic with my Finger in it is the Bell Pepper with the bubbling

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.... Im using Cheap Soil from Home Depot mixed with some Ocean Forrest and Happy Frog... I then cut 20% of the soil with about 50 lbs of Black Casting in combo with the VermaPlex twice a month.... I will continue to apply the VermaPlex through the winter tell next spring to help refine the soil and break it down into better soil......

im not sure what it is on the peppers but mine do it as well and have since last year, they still seem to produce just fine for me though, i alwasy figure it was just a slight ph issue. BTW the garden looks great to man. if you want better soil i would just keep adding as much organic matter as you can like manures, compost, and after the season is over i would just cut the plants and till them in and let them decompose over winter. the more organic matter the better, it makes you soil fluffy and nute rich

Thanks ya im going to till the left over matter back into the soil them im going to apply VermaPlex twice a month through winter tell spring then ill will amend another 50lbs of black castings back into the soil and start over ....... The VermaPlex guy said it took him 3-4years to totally refine his soil down to what he had showed me...........

hmm, that is very odd, i've never seen that before on any of my pepper plants, and i usually do really well on the sweet banana peppers and good but not killer on the regular bells as well..
i was thinking maybe something like leaf miners? but i'm not so sure as i've never had them, but it almost looks like something is attacking the leaves and or living inside of them..
the leaves do look pretty healthy otherwise, so hopefully it's like mcpurple said, and no big deal.. you should really start to get the peppers coming on now.. i just picked my first few bells today although they could have used a lil more time on them..

if you want your soil to be better theni would add a top layer of compost or manures. i looked up the vermaplex and it looks like it is mainly a micro oregonism. theri are many ways to improve your soil with out waiting 3-5 years. adding and amending is a great way to do this.
your soil you have looks pretty good from what i can see already. i just noticed the front of the garden is rock, and i like it, id like to have a huge rock garden. right now im in rasied beds made of cinder block.

i was just thinking, that when lettuce us grown in to hot of conditions that it gets heat bumps and they look like what the peppers have, i know peppers handle warmer weather but it could be possible it is heat. i have not seen any bugs on mine

Ya I though it might be a Heat thing too but I Also Heard is could be from Over Watering them too.....Everything else inside the bed seems to love the extra water especially when it rained.....

I thought about getting compost and adding manure but after talking to a few people i want to try Only top soil i bought and the Pure Black Casting,VermaPlex and the Maxi Plex(Black Sea Kelp).... I know the guy and hes swears if i only use those 3 products and re-amend the old plant material back into he soil applying VermaPlex all through winter then adding new black casting every spring(20%) i wont need anything else and save lots of money..........I work at a Grow Shop so i can get the products at a great price so if this turns out to be as great as the hype ill be savin lots on expensive Grow Nutes for my indoor Grows

Im going to try a Indoor side by side comparison against my House&Garden Line up v.s Only my Soilless mix with Black Castings and VermaPlx/Maxi Plex and see how it comes out... I do 9 3gal pots in Sunshine#4 under a 1000w in a 4x4x8 space if i get the same in results i can save hundreds on Cannabis grow nutes by simply subbing in Castings and VermaPlex/MaxiPlex instead of H&G....If not ill just stick to H&G line up and my soilless Mix #4....

My friend added a bunch of chicken Manure instead of casting and his garden didnt explode with growth or volume in fruit but there might have been to many variables to compare like that.......... What else do you guys suggest i had to my soil during the winter while im adding my Vermaples twice a month??.

i would add almost any thing organic, like used coffee grounds, crushed used eggshells, tree leafs, grass clippings, any organic matter really.

this is what i added to my soil. i bought 4 yards of 40 percetn topsoil/40 percent compost and 20 percent pumice stone, then i added a few big bags of black golds coco mix, black gold soil conditioner, steer manure, sea bird gauno, coffee, egg shells, epsom salts. and now every week they get a tea made up of 3 types of poo and a few other things for bloom. manure is very is to come by here, most the time it is free to come and get and it is well aged or composted

ya that sounds good soil and more like what everyone else i know does..... If i dont get good results from my barebones approache i will diff be adding stuff like that to the soil i think.......We make homemade tea at my work so i use that alot too......Its made from Black castings,Humic/Fulvic, molasis and some plat success powder and another thing i cant remember im leavin out......
