    I’m no pro but that looks more like a pest than a deficiency to me.

    Interesting, looks like the older growth below is healthy, and the new growth is looking good so far. Was this possibly a moment in the grow you had a nutrient issue that is now corrected? How much of the plant has the same issue on leaves?

        Is the top dressing the only way you feed?

    Leaf deformities tend to to be caused by some type of root stress brought on quickly. Typically from an out of range pH or root pests.

      Just curious, but with the damage being that close to the stem, is that indicative of a root issue?

      I’m still new to this and fortunately haven’t had a lot of issues, but most of those seem to show from the edges first.

      Just trying to get educated.

        No, I think what @jmystro meant is that some issue in the root system caused that damage you see. Like a low pH situation caused the leaf tissue to not form properly and when pH came back into line normal growth resumed.

    If it is a deficiency it’s an immobile one

    Since the old and new growth is looking normal, I would just keep an eye on it for now. It could have been a nutrient issue like Dude said. I get that sort of thing from time to time and I believe it is due to organic inputs not mixed in thoroughly enough. Or a pH issue like @jmystro stated.
