Strange cut like appearance showing up on leaves

Hey guys, I’m very new to growing and I have a plant that has some strange cut like thing going on, on one of the leaves. Also strangely enough the same plant has one of the leaves curling backwards. The other 3 Mephistos I have are doing great, so not sure what’s going on.

Oh I use to get these all the time mate starting out. You just crushed it (bended the leaf with some light another pot) Some cases. The leaf that's cut might die. But there'll be no real issues from it I can't see down. But if there's 1 fingered leafs underneath your upper sets. Remove that 1st set of nodes with 1 fingered leaves below them. As the upper nodes will outgrow and they can't catch enough light no matter how you LST. Only way to show then light Is by putting your plant on a tilt like this (/).. just remove them. I csll em energy wasters Nothing to worry about.. Plant looks ok. I can see blotches though very light. Could be pigment but looks like slight PH imbalances. Soil 6.3-6.7 you at 6.4 id higher it a lil bit. Coco 5.5-5.7 (yes you can go under/by these a bit but best 2 keep within theses levels giving u larger ph swing margin

It's just a damage. Maybe it was fold on the edge of the pot. You don't need to care about it. By the way. I have a philodendron with the same damage and the leaf is already 2 years old 😅

Looks like it got folded down on edge of potter. Likely when moving potters around. It lines up perfectly with the edge of the potter.

The damage on the leaf is man made. If you are the only person handling the plant - it was you. IMHO you are over feeding your plants Values indicated in your diary might be high for such small plants. Measure EC to know for sure Also everybody says that pH6.4 is high for soilless grow.

will be fine who knows how it got damaged but should have enough to still grow well it will make many more sets of these soon so I wouldn't worry about it. best of luck buddy

that odd leaf in back right of 2nd pic just looks like an odd early leaf.. if you are trying to water too frequently, allow it to dry a bit more for now.. can push more frequent fertigations when it has a proper root system.. coco let top layer change color or if in soil let top 1" dry before irrigating. For frequent irrigation setup, you want at least a 33% loss of water-weight to occur, but again, if roots are young, this doesn't help much and may even slow down how much root mass is added per day early on. Some stress is good stress type idea. A plant not seeking water isn't putting as much energy into growing more roots.

was it bent into pot for a while? seems to line up very well with edge of pot... physical damage.. one-off situation, probably. oh! if it rests on the fabric and the fabric is wet from recent fertilization, then that might would burn it too.
