Always pics :-) also if you did not use a fan this reaction of the leaves going flimsy I've seen on my plants. They should bounce back in the evening after the wind dies down. If they don't bounce back they may just need some water. Also I set my plants between a rose bush and a flower bush to ease them to the harsh winds. Be careful with rose bushes since aphids love them and tend to pounce on pepper plants near by.

Yellow leaves, make sure you are not keeping the plant to moist. Also an iron deficiency looks like what you are describing. Make sure that's included in you slow release pellets. If its there it could be a Ca deficiency causing nutrient uptake issues.

This pic is of the leaves that I was talking about, really flimsy. And I had a fan on them when they were younger, just everytime they hit the sun they fall and get VERY SOFT. Hence the hardening off question Im wondering if Im doing anything wrong.

These are my Naga Vipers, the middle leaves are yellow and I dont get it, the rest of the plant is perfect and its the same on my others.

The first pic no problem there, once you take it inside or when the sun goes down it will be fine, and bounce back. The second one was it recently repotted? Either way I would let it be for a week to see how it does with the environment change. If it does not I would investigate the next steps maybe a light dose of liquid fert incase the slow release is not working as well or not enough was added.

Any of you others have a suggestion to add please do.

Yea the second picture I reported them around a week ago, and I have some MicroBlast powder you mix with water that I haven't used. Just want to make sure all my Vipers aren't going downhill.

Repotted*

Overcast skies and dappled light for longer periods would be better than short bursts of direct light. Well, now that I think about it, I guess I can't say that for certain. But, that's what I would do.

In fact, I have a couple of plants that have reacted much the same way....drooping limp leaves. I give them a drink if it's been a while and move them to more shade and they recover in a couple of hours. It doesn't take much direct sunlight if they're not used to it.

Second one...not sure.
