I think you need to apply sulfur in the leaves, because your plants have red spider mites.

Remote diagnoses are always tricky, as some previous speakers have already mentioned. However, since the leaves also look strange in shape, I would simply suggest that it might be a mutation.

The pigmentation issues could be nothing... hopefully new growth doesn't continue to show it. is it some sort of genetic mutation or some esoteric ratio/concentration of nutes in teh soil wreaking havoc on leaf development? Hard to say. Time will definitely tell, lol. if it is rapidly growing i'd lean more toward funky genetics than environemental causes. Not all leaf mutations are a problem. A couple strains out there sell for a premium price just becuase of their weird looking leaves. This is a type of plant i trash to avoid the risk. If you are expereinced andknow how to treat a plant, even more reason to trash it.. because it's mor likely genetics at that point. I'd give it a bit more time to see if it grows out of early troubles. Perfectly normal plants can look fugly the first 3-4 nodes and then turn out great after that. ive had some fast-growing weird looking plants -- leaves were nice and big, but floppy and bunch of pigmentation issues. Those plants rarely turned out well for me. I don't mind variegation, but if it is a significant symptom all over and other attributes that look less than healthy, i'm trashing it, nowardays. Am i missing out on a good plant occasionally? sure, but i'm also saving myself from a potential 12 week headache of dealing with a dumpster fire plant, too. It's easier to throw something out if you plant more than you need -- which is tough to justify, if spending a lot on seeds. If still new, grow it out just for the experience. i expect at least 1/4th of seeds to have issues of some kind from mutations to runts. if productivity is a primary concern, plant 150-200% of need and kill the weak. if not, grow out all the weirdos you want :P

Rapid temps changes over short periods when she was super small, the folding and warping of proteins and the eventual re forming as conditions settle. Similar to pieces of plastic left in the raging sun too long, maybe they distort or warp slightly once temps cool back down it will never be precisely as it was. Similar concept.

What I'd expect from acute heat exhaustion possibly denaturing enzymes within the leaf, once conditions restabalized and came back around best they can but often the leafs remain mangled and mottled. Will lower her ability to photosynthesize but with a little love she should bounce back.

Hi, hat bei meinem grow bei einer Pflanze auch so angefangen. Würde nicht mehr direkt in die Mitte gießen eher drum herum. Eventuell mal etwas trockener lassen damit sich die Wurzeln besser entwickeln können. Viel Glück

difficult to answer, you would have to specify what medium is in the pot. Is it soil, coco, pre-fertilized or not? Maybe she needs fertilizer? In general the leaves look really strange (shape) have you perhaps given too much water? When standing in a plastic pot, it takes a little longer until you have to water it initially because the water evaporates much more slowly and the plant hardly absorbs any water due to its size. Does the pot have holes in the bottom to prevent waterlogging?

Many reasons, from weak plant, environment or even bad genetics. With love you still can achieve a lot ! I recently had one , still managed to finish well. growdiaries.com/diaries/278952-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/1545030 Either nutes, too strong medium, wind damage, too moist medium , aka bad watering regime , bad vpd (temps and humidity ) .... Most grow out such crap with time, when root system becomes stronger ..
