I love the hottest peppers!

Hello, i got these 2 plants from a friend who's a complete pepperfreak. Its red habanero and monkeyface. He makes super concentrated hot sauces all the time i dunno where he keeps stuffing it 
I used to love superhot food but somewhere along the way i lost the ability to digest it so im eating mildly hot at most nowadays.
I'm worried about the rusty spots under the leaves and torn leaves.
Is this malnutrition or rust(fungal disease) or nothing to worry about? Would like to grow these in my greenhouse but not if they're sick.

I like hot peppers but there's a point when it's too hot and just hides/drowns out all the wonderful flavors in a meal.
Heat is good when it melds with other flavors allowing all different flavors /taste to come thru and shine.
Every once in a while it's good to have all heat

my rocotos from last years season are still growing and fruiting. they didnt even loose a leaf during winter, and i have been picking mature rocotos untill this past week when i picked of all old mature fruits since they have started to flower again. truly big, and i cant even imagine how big they will get with the years!
besides that i got jalapenos, various baccatums and chinense and a lot of over wintered mixed chili plants in pots from last season. i didnt plant any new kinds or any seeds what so ever of chilis for this season i transplanted the overwintered poted chili plants into the soil. they are pretty much all flowering and starting to fruit.

Dear lord - are you people really eating these peppers? The vids on you tube a hilarious and look so painful . I can't imagine the aftermath of eating them either. Ie. clutching the toilet seat for an hour.
That being said I do love spice, hotter than most people can reasonably enjoy, but ate a whole habanero and it nearly killed me on both ends.
How you can eat the morugas or ghosts is beyond me????

the hottest ones i'd personally use as dried and powdered. but i like the mild ones too, had pink habanero and champion before, this year testing cheiro roxa.

hey guys and gals I have a question for ya if you dont mind giving your input. there is a chili pepper plant at my friends house that I have brought back to life over the past 6 months or so. It blended in so well at first I didnt even notice it until peppers turned red/orange and stood out. it was pretty weak then but this year its already got a +/- 10 peppers on it doin real good. their lease is up soon and the landlord intends on renovating and I dont know their feelings towards plants but everything is probably gettin demo-d.so i took some cuts of the plants i could but I want to dig up the pepper plant and relocate it. it will be within a month or 2 so it will still be in flower/fruit will it survive and any tips for success?

i found the ghosts have a nice fruity flavor hidden away. make sauces jellys and dried goods.
we have been overwintering for 2-3 yrs (tho did do it many yrs ago)... last year we dug up a couple of hab's (one yellow,one orange), and 1/2 dozen ghosts/trin scorp's.. all already have more flowers then I can count...
only problem I find is white flys... they seem to luv peppers, tho I rarely see much damage... they prob chew on a hab leaf n die...
