Hey looking for suggestions on my ghost pepper. It's on a sunny balcony and is doing noticeably worse than my other hot peppers (scotch bonnets, trinidad scorpion, carolina reaper, jalapenos and cayenne) while receiving the same fertilizer/ water schedule/etc. It did have some aphids I got rid of last ast week. My happy scotch bonnets are in the second picture for reference.
I'm trying to decide if up potting, or maybe trimming the leaves near the base would be helpful, or perhaps changing the fertilizer? I've been using 24-8-16 miracle grow.

What brand of soil did you use?
Looks thirsty/heat stress. Also zooming in it looks like something is eating your leaf. Bugs maybe?
In the morning as the sun is coming up, do a good soak of the soil, see if it perks up at all.
More water less miracle grow. Dry + the salts used in miracle grow = lots of stress. Stop feeding it for honestly like a month at least.
