What problem does my plant have?

Eventually all leaves, old and new, get these brown edges with occasional spots, and I'm not sure what it means. All I can think of is fertiliser burn, but I dilute it in my watering can and dose it by using the bottlecap, as is intended. The stems themselves are thick, strong and healthy, with the exception of some dead ends. The sweet pepper pods themselves are very healthy and delicious. Note that the plants were growing indoors during a heat wave, but besides blossom drop, all was fine. I have no exterior area, so all my pepper plants are grown indoors. My other varieties are healthy, but a month or two younger. I think this variety is about... 5 months old. Could someone explain to me what is happening, if I'm doing something wrong, and if so, what? I would also love a cure or solution. Thank you very much in advance! I love my plants and I would hate to lose them...

it is micronutrient deficiency and fungal disease, spray micronutrient fertilizer and add organic manure like vermi compost, biowaste compost, seaweed extract +humic acid + potasium humate etc in the soil. add baking soda + liquid soap with micronutrient for fungus control. thanks

I see... What micronutrient should I look out for? I always fear using soap will damage my plant. How and where should I apply it? I once read dish soap would work, is this true? Thank you for your answer so far! I would love to cure my plant. Will the leaves go back to normal?

Thank you for your answer. I checked for webbing a few times, but as far as I can see, there's none to be found. Does that rule out Spider Mites?

Another note that might be helpful. I have a low population of fungus gnats spread about between my different pots of soil. I read they were harmless, but perhaps it's wrong? Should I spray my insecticide into the soil to kill them? I feared doing it so I'll ask first.
