Looks to me like you have a bit too high PPM and a bit dry. Looks like your soil is just getting productive. What is your PH? Regardless of belies. It is a vital nute management tool in soil to compensate for off balance mixes.
I grow in 3 gal pots organic soil/coco. Takes years to formulate a home mix. Check other successful growers mixes.

Looking good man!
Still been plain water only?
And still running to waste?
If I may offer a suggestion and ask, what have you got on hand for a little nitrogen?
Half a handful of blood and bone meal per pot, as a top dressing under your mulch, would be the perfect thing I think.
It does heat up somewhat, but it's fine in small amount and won't smell much at all, if it's under your mulch.
It'll give your plant some extra legs too, so it doesn't fade out too soon before ripening.
They are so much more healthy and really eager to grow. Just a smidgen of nitrogen would be good about now I believe. That looks to me like all they need and that's a really great thing. And a healthy sign.
I don't know if you've heard the saying "nitrogen deficiency is the #1 sign of a healthy garden", but it's so damn true.
Great turn around man. I think you're right about where you want to be. Looks awesome.

I don't in-ground. Essential in pots if I get my amendments off by much. And I eyeball everything in the mix or use measuring spoons. Not very precise.
It works for me.

Just the blood meal will be ample in my own opinion. Less than half a hand if no bone in there too.
Little a bit of N is all they need.

I'd say kelp. You have a high nute issue curling your leaf edges. N def it would be entire leaf yellowing.
I use Coast of Maine Stonington Blend lobster kelp for top dressing. Covers all your bases and OMRI certified.
