I haven’t seen it myself , hoping someone can chime in. But ive seen this effect on overwatered or waterlogged soil in seedlings in pot’s but never in ground.

Actually .. come to think of it .. ground wasnt overly wet but moist when i put worm castings around plant. .hence me giving it a l8ght watering bout a litre to water in the castings.if it was wet i wouldnt of watered it.the soil actually drains okay ...the castings were dug in 3-4 inches..maybe it will grow out of it

Check for bugs, first pic very top lower leaf looks like spider or thrips damage.

Cant see any bugs,aphids etc.i reckon its def the soil as the problem is not systematic.
none of the others are showing this.basically same ammendments.could b a bit too strong for her.as it the only blue cheese there left.there is chicken,cow,mushroom in there all composted well.theres also suphur too..oyster shell bloodn bone etc..could b not mixed thoroughly and roots have hit a potent bit in soil???.i cut the plastic off sides of me mini hothouse to keep water off it for now..you can see ive tried to stop the wind rebounding off shed when its windy.will put a piece of lattice there to break it up later..

I hope it does too bud.hate seeing girls with probs and leaves looking small.seems like a missed opportunity when you only have soo much space to work with.its near a little late to put another one in..i think the only thing i can do is just watch,dont give her any water or nutes,wait for soil to dry if no improvement i'll just drench if say its the gear in soil,then see what happens..

Yup, that's what broad mites did to my girls this year.

@Madmax, I know your pretty thorough but did you use strong magnification to check for pests? I don't know what pests are local to you down there but if you do get broad mites, they're tiny. I had to use my 60x loupe to see them on my girls. That's why I missed them in my initial pest inspections.

I added a cup of oyster shell in there buddy before planting.has had cal mag.also..other plants have had same feeds and soil ammendments.i still havnt worked out whats caused it . thats the only thing ive done to correct it.killed the mites.It def wasnt them..i havnt flushed the soil yet.it is getting dry.spose to have some rain coming so no point drenching then rain comes .other plants going very well .i dont think a deficiency would do that .toxicity maybe.leaves are getting a little smaller and still looking diseased like .Soil is 6.5..plants still growing just small.the leaves are really shiny.dark green.actually they are not that dark.
