I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so someone else please chime in. Perhaps a small dose of boron+calcium?
Now u have me curious. I've been fertilizing them monthly with Fruit/Banana Fuel which does contain boron+calcium. The plants have grown profusely since their previous drink of fert so they may be lacking some atm. I did fertilize them again yesterday with a greater amount proportionate to their current size so that may help if there is indeed an issue with malnutrition.

Some closeups of the leaves:







I might have a worm/caterpillar starting to chew on the plant again. If that's the case I'll give it a quick douse of Bug-b-Gone and that will take care of it.
