d color. Healthy plant, fed 3 times over growing season. What did I miss? Currently attempting to 'ripen' them indoors in brown paper bag!
They can be left on the plant to mature to yellow; it may take a few weeks. Indoors in warmth, they should continue to ripen.

I am interested in peppers and jalapeno pepper plant leaves.
Yes! This is common in Asian countries, actually. Cook them, thoroughly, as you would greens.
I am growing red bell pepper hydroponically. The plant looks healthy but it has white fungi like stuff growing on the base of the stem. Will that be harmful for the plant?
Those are roots! They will form along the stem in humid environments.
I have a chiltipin plant in a pot that is now about 2-3 feet tall. It is kept in the shade of several large yard bushes and is only watered every 7-10 days during this time of year and I will probably change that to every 14 days as it gets even cooler. I drilled additional holes in the bottom of the pot so that it has better drainage. My problem has been that the plant puts on lots and lots of tiny white flowers but has not set any peppers and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong with it? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
It could be a pollination problem, however, you could pollinate the flowers by hand. It also could be an environmental issue. These articles should help:

Can I start Anaheim pepper plants from seeds that I have removed on the inside of a pepper? If so how do I go about that? I live in, Missouri, zone six And believe I need to start them indoors, correct?
You can. Just remember that they may have been pollinated by another type of pepper, so they may be a hybrid of some sort. In fact, you may get some interesting variety in your seedlings.
I usually start my peppers in seedling starting mix under grow lights. This gives them a head start for the season.

Plants are from seeds, from grocery store sweet peppers. They sprouted and grew up just fine. They produced a lot of flowers and peppers, beautiful mature plants for about 3 months. Suddenly, yellowing and falling leaves; dropped the flowers and the small peppers got stunted as well as the whole plants. I have tried fertilizer, antifungal, insecticide...they are dying. From the same seeds I gifted a couple of baby plants to a friend which she repotted in bigger planters. At the same time, her plants and mine started with the same problem. She leaves in another neighborhood. Totally different plant care by another person, but the exact same problem at the same time. Could this be a genetic make up or problem being that these plants are from grocery store peppers?
That could be a factor. Grocery store plants are often hybrids so you wouldn't get the same plant as the one you took seeds from. It's always an experiment to grow seeds from grocery store plants. Given that your friend had the same experience, I would chalk it up to the seeds.

The leaves have small holes as do the peppers.
Take a look at this article. You'll need to closely examine your plant and try to identify what kind of creature is feasting on it.
