Hi there..and welcome to the Vine!

I can't help you about the plants as I'm new to chilli growing too....but could you please put your location in your profile?...it just helps people with the advice they give/ ask in future posts!

First thoughts are are you over watering them?...or perhaps they are too cold?

Hello & welcome

Reading my book it says that peppers are related to tomatoes & require the same growing conditions,so presumably suffer the same problems.

Taken from the tomato section of Dr.Hessayon Vegetatble & Herb Expert....

Brown mould patches :Tomato leaf mould - Purplebrown mould patches appear on the underside of foliage - the upper surface bears yellowish patches.Lower leaves are attacked first.
Treatment : Remove some of the lower leaves.No systemic sprays are available (in UK)
Prevention : Ventilate growing area,especially at night

Leaf roll : Rolled tomato leaves do not indicate disease,the inward roll is usually taken as a good sign if they are dark green.

Someone with more experience/knowledge will be along shortly

I grow chillies but I'm not sure what that is. The pics of last years chillies look like the leaves have been burnt - too much sun?
As for the new ones, I've never had black on any of mine! Perhaps you could give us more info, where they are growing, under light, size of pots and how often are you watering?

You should maybe try a chilli growing forum or Facebook group

There are some very helpful and knowledgeable ones out there

It looks like bacteria infection!!

Are they well ventilated??

Could also be thrips/aphids although I'd go with more red spider mite maybe?

The ones with leaf curl look like they have been over fertilised??

Leaf curl is a sign of stress so there not happy

I'd like to know where you are keeping them? They don't like chilly window sills at night. Have you potted them on recently?

What are you feeding them ? is it diluted right ?

Thank you all guys for your answers. I went to a local nursery and they told me that is shock from the temperature at night ( under 12 C ). I am so sad that my little plants are not happy.

The plants are NOT dead. Bring them in to somewhere with a steady temperature of at least 15C and with good light. Do not water them too much as they are almost not growing. They might recover.

Start a few replacements off anyway.

I have tried this in Google Translate backwards and forwards between the two languages and it keeps offering me "The plants are dead" which is why I have stressed NOT in case you are using it to help you.
