Shawn, it might be the fan drying them out. That happened to mine. I was running the fan all the time. I switched to running it one hour a day on low, not pointed directly at them, and they perked up.
If the leaves are curled and dried out, you can also mist them lightly with water.
I am not sure that's your problem. Just a guess based on my experience.

Check for all the basics.. Too much water, pump not running or water not flowing!.. What is mooch? I had this happen when adding Hydrogen peroxide and moving a plant from one environment to another..but they recovered after lowering the water level (not in AG but bubble container) All you did was feed so maybe a cable unpluged, power strip switch.. pump failure.. go with the basics first.. wilting is stress either not enough water or not enough oxygen or too large a change in something PH/PPM, root stress. May want to check the cage/roots and make sure they are not totally blocking the water flow.. maybe the plant got moved.. Good luck! Pump works, water is flower, water is full. I never did and never have checked ph/ppm so I am not concerned there. Roots look good. Mooch is a calcium supplement and I have been using that for years with peppers so I dont think that is it.
No bugs either...  |

Probably NOT it, but I mention it only because I had something similar happen with my AG Bell Pepper plant. It was also right after and R&R. The Lilac Bell and the Jalapeno were just fine and unaffected. Just the Bell was drooping and felt limp. I thought I would lose it, so as a last ditch thing, I did another R&R without nutes this time. Then, I noticed that one of the little plugs was left off, so I replaced the plug too. I don't know why, but it was better by evening and the next day you wouldn't have known there was any issue at all. I still wonder if it was too much air getting in. That plug was right next to the Bell. Or something else? Here's hoping your plant will do a turn around too!  |

I think I'd up the nutrients to 24 ml. I always run 24 ml Nutrients and 20 ml Mooch on a Farm. I'm having a hard time finding someone that sells the Mooch now. It's made here in Michigan, but covid hit everyone hard. I haven't got a response from them.
BTW, Mooch is a nickname I gave Mr. Mucha Stash, by All Day Organics.

The plant IS looking better this morning. Not 100%. Still has leaf curl on some but most of the droopiness is gone. Again not 100% Here are some pictures of the plant and peppers. I wish I took a picture of the wilting plant but I did not.   Here is the small Candy Apple with the three peppers that can be seen from this view.  |

It is loaded with peppers. I am looking forward to the color change.
The candy apple really is apple shaped!

So they were looking good this morning after the light was out all night and started to drop after it was on? Is the pump set to run 24/7 or is it on and off?

I have raised the lights after I saw the wilting. Pump runs 5 mins off 25. I am changing that to 24/7 I guess

Plants looked good this morning however after the lights being on for a while they started to wilt again so I lowered the wattage on the left side of my farm.

I have noticed my peppers do fine in a 20 watt Harvest, and I have to keep the lights raised higher than normal in my old 45 watt Bounty to keep from scorching the tops of the plants. |

I never had an issue but it may be this particular pepper. |

I've never had a problem if I leave 4-5 inches between the plant and the light.
