I have this new pattern coming up all over my week old plants. Dark lines kind of snaking around on the leaves in no pattern. Have not seen any bugs. Any ideas?

Leaf Miners. The best way to deal with them is to squish the little mofo's and to pluck the leaves that they're on and burn them to prevent them from maturing or spreading.

Doesn't look like leaf miner pattern to me. I just got rid of leaf miners about a week ago. Def some kind of bug though. If it is really severe, use some pyrmethin, or permethrin on them. If not, use neem oil.

I can not see any bugs to crush though. With such young plants, will it hurt them to pull all the leaves that are affected? My tomatoes outside have the same thing.

It appeared, as far as I can tell, within about an hour after giving them the first worm casting foliar spray, and it slowly spread since then.

Thank you for any more input.
