I am having a few leaves like this on otherwise healthy plant. Hope it's not the dreaded spider mites.

Hard to tell exactly what’s causing that, but since they’re otherwise healthy it’s not a big deal. Keep a eye out for more leaves like that and do preventative sprays of neem oil, insecticidal soap or biofungicide or all three according to the instructions. That way you could more or less rule out pests if it were to continue appearing.

Thanks, I'm just paranoid about those things getting started. Hoped it was not obvious bugs.

Looks like wind damage from leaves rubbing against each other

I never thought of that before. I do keep two fans on them all the time for respiration, stem strengthening and to discourage the mites. Very good suggestion. Thanks.
