Default Chilli Problem

Hello,

I recently moved some of my Chill plants to a little 'greenhouse' on my balcony.

I've been away for the weekend, but my girlfriend has been looking after the little guys. However, the leaves seem to be turning white and curling at the sides... any idea what is causing this? Should I bring them back inside?

Help?!

Kristian, it`s a little bit of leaf scorch, not really a problem, but take them inside until we start getting warmer nights.

Yes Kristian, as David said it's just a little scorch. It's important to always water your plants from the base to avoid getting the leaves wet because when the sun hits the leaves the beads of water on them act like a magnifying glass and makes the scorch worse.
