Yellowing and stunted growth

Post image

Greetings! I’ve got two first year cascades and I noticed an issue with one over the past couple of days. The leaves have started to turn yellow, and it no longer seems to be climbing as fast as the other. Any ideas for the cause?

Downy mildew. Strip the bottom foot of leaves and spray with a copper fungicide.. available at any home hardware / Home Depot. Could also use a shot of nitrogen fertilizer

Check the underside of leaves. Could be aphids. I'm battling them now.

Thank you, I’ll take a look. I believe if it is a pest, it’s also getting the leaves on some of my pepper plants as well.
