Why is this happening to my leaves. I have about 2 to 4 leaves looking like this. Is this normal or needs to be monitored for a few more weeks to see if it's spreading etc.... Pls see pics attached. Thx.

Looks like it's getting munched by something. Or ripped by a beak. But if indoors I don't see how that could even happen..?

Well, it definitely appears to have been eaten, so outside of pets I'll suggest something like a caterpillar. They can be *very* difficult to spot! They'll drop to the ground the moment they feel movement.

I only notice that on one plant - my GDP. I am repeatedly checking other plants and they are all fine. I'll keep and eye out for caterpillars .. Thx

Hit em with some ogbiowar foliar. If you got caterpillars you want to get em gone before things get too deep into flower as the caterpillar poop is a perfect recipe for bud rot.

Also watch out for Earwigs. They will do this kind of damage.

If you grab the main stalk and give it a little shake, the caterpillars should fall in the pot or on the ground. To me the leaf just looks like it ripped some how.

Nice call sometimes when I pick up a container the leaf of another plant can get pinched and ripped as I move said container and indeed looks exactly as picture above.....I accidentally do this when cloning too many per tray
