Help!

All my peppers seem to be stunted again this year. We planted a couple weeks ago and they are all looking like this now, showing a little yellowing and not producing new foliage. We had a similar problem last year and so we went with a different soil supplier this year. Trying to figure out how to correct this now, we mix our own soil, (not sure the ratios my wife uses) and usually add a bit of black kow in as well. I don't believe she added any of our compost into the pots this year. They have plenty of moisture, just had some big storms roll through and we water daily when it's dry. We're in zone 8A

Trying to get this figured out so I can actually get a harvest this year.

Edit: wife got back to me with the soil composition (but couldn't remember the ratios). Soil is a mix of Topsoil, Black Kow manure, Coconut Coir, and Worm Castings, with a little bit of perlite in there as well.

I don't water if there's a good amount of moisture in the soil, for instance we had those storms and so I haven't watered since, the soil is still very moist in all my pots.

We have Neptune's Harvest liquid fish and seaweed fertilizer, I'm going to add a bit of that and see if they perk up.

I haven't tested the soil myself, but wife said the fertility was good and PH a little low, so she sprinkled something in to raise it a bit

Worst tropes in sci-fi

What do you think are the worst repeated tropes in sci-fi?

For me, it's the intentional ignoring of physics. "Our bullets, missiles, and nukes don't have any effect, but [random metal from Allen ship] is 100% effective at killing them when simply stabbed by normal human.

Hard to kill? Redundant organ systems? Shields? Great! But... Bullets don't work cause they aren't [alien origin] materials... Peak stupid.

Enough Mass x enough velocity = bad day for whatever is getting hit. I don't care if it's lead or compressed fucking feathers
