Re-pot with more soil. The amount shown looks inadequate. Wait for 
surface of soil to go dry before re-watering. Use a sulfate based 
fungicide. It can't hurt.

Try http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/3000/3116.html

Phytophthora Blight (Phytophthora capsici)

http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vh054
PHYTOPHTHORA BLIGHT
or
SOUTHERN BLIGHT (WHITE MOLD)

Good luck
