Default yellowing leaves on chili pepper plant

om...

If your plants are turning a mottled brown and yellow with splotches,
it is probably a blight. Peppers are relatives of the tomato and are
susceptible to the same diseases. If, however, the bottom leaves are
just turning yellow, it is probably simple choriosis (yellowing)
caused by excessive watering.


It's pretty much all the leaves that are turning yellow,
a few with brown splotches....

Overwatering could be an issue as I watered it a little
more than usual during a recent heatwave, which were
promptly followed by a few downpours.

I did some google search, and came up with magnesium,
manganese, and iron as possible minerals pepper plants
could be lacking, but I'm not sure about the symptoms
the lack of these might cause.
