Mis-shapen leaves and spots, what am I doing wrong?

I wouldn't worry too much. New growth on supers is some times wrinkled. Check for aphids just in case!
 
If I had to guess, mild bacterial spot and a tad over fertilized. Slightly fewer nutrients and drier air should help.

Are those two slugs in the pot?
 
My two oldest Trinidad scorp plants look the same way.... I too have wondered what is going on with them... Just gotta leave em be and let mother nature do its best.....
 
Monitor them, let them grow, and be patient. Someone is going to tell you that it is calcium deficiency, to go get cal-mag, water at some diluted rate, and that they will suddenly grow 10 feet and be fixed. They are stupid. Let it be, remember, you don't need to have a beautiful plant to have beautiful pods. 9 times out of 10 we kill our plants from bad advice or over loving them. Dont be that guy.

Also, if it dies tomorrow and I am wrong, blame it on Romy6.
 
What you've got there is a calcium deficiency. Go get cal-mag, dilute it to 1/69th strength, and that'll fix it right up.

To be clear, I was just joking based off of Mgold's post.

I apologize for going for the joke in response to a serious thread, when following it may lead to plant damage.
 
One of my Lemon Drops had exactly the same at the start of season, it stopped when i reduced the amount of fertilizer...
 
Till recently i gave my plants diluted dose of fertz every week... This is the first week of just watering, gonna have to see how my plants respond to not having that extra boost...
 
I watched a video with a very educated gardner, and he said that it was actually TOO much calcium. So, yeah. Just let 'em be...
