Sounds like you may want to repot if the soil they are in doesn’t drain well. Or, if the pots don’t have holes, it’s best to have at least one to allow excess water to drain after watering.

Good question. Yellowing leaves doesn't always indicate a nitrogen deficiency though. It could just be that the leaves are aging and dying off, which happens naturally. Also, the plants still do require some nitrogen, just less of it to avoid overly-leafy plants. I wouldn't go nuts with the nitrogen during fruiting, but make sure the plants have some.

They are shedding leaves and the stem is turning brown. The leaves are shedding from bottom to up and I don't know what is the issue. Leaves are not yellow or curled and neither do I over water them. I live in Germany and there is not enough sun for many weeks in winter but I think if sunlight was the issue then they wouldn't have been fine in yogurt boxes and they survived indoors when outside temperatures were very low during those times.

When I came back the plant had shrivelled up so I removed it put in in the bathroom it’s cooler in there and watered it. Within a few hours it had recovered the leaves full of life again only then did I notice that some of the leaves were burnt turned white. I remove one of them just to see what would happen and left the other on. My question is do I prune off the burnt leaves or not. I first planted the seed for this plant in mid March, it was growing well in the small container I made from a cut in half water bottle but now that I have move at to a larger container as it got bigger ( I could see the roots against the other container) it feels like it’s taking forever to put out new leaves in two weeks it’s barely done anything.

How do you deal with pepper plants with a serious powdery mildew infection (about 90% leaves infected)? It can be dealt with by chemicals, but I don't want to use those; so, does trimming all the infected leaves and spraying it with a baking soda solution helps?

Professional pepper seed vendors are rare in my region, not sure if they'd label the product as such, at least I've never seen one.

Depends on the heat and sun exposure - hot days will lead to much faster water usage by the plants. It also depends on your soil's ability to retain water. Good way to know is to lift potted plants and get used to the weight of a dried out plant/freshly watered plant. You can also feel the soil 2-3" below the surface for moisture.
