Shiny wrinkled leaves on tabasco plants

Hello,

It is my first attempt at growing peppers and I figure it all out on the go. I haven't had any problems so far, everything has been going according to plan.

The only issue I had, was with my tabasco plants. I started noticing some wrinkling with the new leaves. I thought about different reasons that could explain this.

The roots began tot show through the drainage holes, so I transplanted them tot a new pot (I did this 5 days ago).
I could have given them too much water, so I haven't watered them since.
Nutrient-deficiency seems unlikely, when transplanting they received some new soil.

Most of these leaves have straightened out, but one leave remains wrinkled. So is this normal for a tabasco or was something on?
What do you guys think?

I would start giving them some calcium, and Epsom salts.  It wont correct the wrinkled ones, but it will help keep new leaves from wrinkling up.
