Well you should start with water, looks a bit wilty.
Then I’d pot up, those look like they’re more than ready for something bigger. My regular pots are 5 and 7 gallon bags but I also have 1 gallon bags for the extra plants I can’t bear to see go in the heap, even those get pretty large and produce a decent amount of fruit.
Higher phosphorus ferts for root development after potting up, then shift to higher nitrogen for vegitative growth maybe adding blood meal for boosts, then higher phosphorus and potassium for flowering and fruiting. I’ll typically have some pellets for timed release of basic NPK needs but use liquids to boost one or two of the three to optimize based on needs of the plant.
Optimal fert is very much dependent on the stage of life the plant is in, through plenty of folks have very good results with simpler, single fert schedules, it just depends on how much time and effort you have and are willing to put into it.
I guess it’s the difference between a few pods now or lots of pods later. Not sure what zone you’re in either but most zones don’t have much time left on the growing season. If you’re looking to keep them in those pots then you probably just need something with low N, and higher P and K. But definitely water.
Main fertilizer for any plant is light. How many hours of direct sunlight they have?
Coffee grounds, or anything with higher nitrogen. That helps with the foliage and the flowers
