If it isn't herbicide damage it looks like you are on the verge of too much of a good thing.
I would also lay off the Epsom salts for good.
And you may not be out of the woods yet.

I think my post might have been a bit confusing. I think the "arch" in your
leaf branches are due to a recent over fertilization-at least, that's what I've
thought was responsible to a similar appearance I've noticed in my plants-
always after a liquid feed. It's always frightening because when I see that "arch",
the first thing that I fear is herbicide. I'm almost certain your plants have that
appearance because of fertilization--not herbicide. Mine always look normal
by the next day.

It looks like aphids or some other tiny bug (spider mites?) to me. In some of the photos (first one I think) it looks like there is some scarring on the leaves. In another one I thought I saw tiny pale green dots and lighter cast off shed skins...which makes me think aphids. Squirt some soapy water on them to kill the aphids.
