Leaf miners?

Are those leaf miners? The 8 others plants are doing ok with same pot soil watering light. Had issue at the beginning with stretching and I did some support with everything I had in hand.

Leaf miners leave little squiggly lines that are trails where they’ve eaten, once you see it, it’s hard to mistake for something else. If anything it might be early mite damage, easily treatable with some Neem oil, but spray the dirt around your plants with Neem too if your thinking mites as that’s where they come from. I would watch the one with what appears to be some deformity with at least one of the leaves, and also is that a little variegation on one of the leaves, with the spot of yellow? It could be early symptoms of Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Ive had it a couple of times in the past, and there is no cure. If it gets worse as it grows and you see more variegated leaves (parts of the leaves are yellow and green mixed, not yellow like fade.) I would toss it as I mentioned it can’t be cured and will get worse, affecting appearance and yield. If, that’s what it is, leaf hoppers and leaf minors can spread the disease to your other plants, as imo they are the primary vectors of TMV. Good luck!

Looks like a defective plant. veins aren't growing in properly either. probably some genetic disorder. They have a wax appearance also. You have two different plants pictured, the third photo of plant may just out grow what is going on, I would discard the other one, you haven't put that much time into it and to find out weeks down the road she has been stressed her whole life it will just be a battle.

nope. hopefully it grows out of it. I toss out plants with severe issues in the leaves.. whether virus or genetic it really doesn't matter at that point. Even if some develop fine, just not worth it to me to carry the ones that struggle. Plant 150-200% of how many you intend to fill the garden and kill the weak.
