What's wrong with my pepper plants? Leaves turning white

Hi everyone. I'm new to gardening so be kind - I tried googling this first but got a lot of "it depends" as answers. I recently built planter boxes for new pepper plants I purchased (jalapeno and Tabasco). They are about 6-10 inches tall and I just purchased them last week. Recently the leaves have started turning white.
I am currently watering first thing in the morning every day. Are they getting too much sun?

Thank you!
It has been proven that sunburn through water droplets on plant leaves is a myth, it doesn't happen after a shower of rain does it so why should artificial watering be any different?
Temperatures generated by sun through glass are much higher than from a shower of rain outside

sorry guys but i too have a problem im trying to get my cayanne pepper plant to delvelop fruit but nothing ive even tried self polination what can i do?
Ok Welshonion I was just thinking i done something wrong but the plant looks happy so I must be doing good right guys!
have you fed them? Are they in a greenhouse overnight or are they outside? Were they purchased in the open or under glass? Do you have a temperature logger or at least a meter with min/max. Such a distal necrosis can be caused by acute temperature gradient (probably the cold). Plants need to be aclimatised to new conditions gradually.
On an unrelated note I had my first sighting of Otiorhynchus (probably vine weevil) of the year on the diffuser of my kitchen light, so time to start looking out for those too,
