Any idea what could be causing this?

I feed it once a week with Chilli Focus which is recommended on the side of the bottle. Thanks :)

What does chili focus consist of ? 
 
May help determine what the plant is lacking  :fireball:

Chilli Focus NPK: 3.0 - 1.0 - 4.4
I can post a picture of the back of the bottle if it helps mate
 
  Have you been watering with epsom salt ? Peppers love it and really cuts down on the magnesium deficiency but I do not believe that is your issue . 
 
P seems low for sure though . I prefer a 10 10 10 ratio. 
 
Have you been giving it any calcium ?

I gave it a spray with some epsom salt about 3 weeks ago and na I haven't I thought everything the plant needed was in the bottle lol.

 They need lots of calcium and magnesium just FYI . I water with epsom salt at least once a week . Tablespoon per gallon of water and use the heck out of some bone meal . 
 
I have never used chilifocus so I am not sure to be honest though .

so the bone meal supplies the calcium and magnesium? Or one of the two?

Bone meal =  calcium( takes about 4 to 6 weeks to break down so add early before fruiting) most use cal/mag for both I am old school. And poor.   . Epsom = magnesium

Same here. Poor that is. That's for explaining that.

There's calcium and magnesium also in it iirc.
It's also used for hydroponics...
 
Don't know how much Ca and Mg it has though

I'm going to the garden centre today, should I pick up some bone meal if they have it?
 
I foliar spray with calcium chloride and epsom salt to give them calcium and magnesium. Calcium nitrate in the soil is also good if it lacks calcium.

 I would not. I think you have enough calcium in the chili focus . Maybe just get some epsom salt . Plant looks super healthy . Little yellowing on a few leaves is normal . If it gets much worst then maybe boost up the amount of NPK.

I ended up getting 2 scotch bonet plants, bell pepper plant and one of them spray guns for epsom salts. Just about to give them all a spray now thanks man

 I have found doing a root drenching is more effective than foliar feeding epsom salt but they will both work well . Just my humble opinion . If you do go the foilar option I recommend adding a a wetting or sticking agent to allow the leaves to absorb better . Feed the roots go straight to the source :)
