Whats going on with my leaves lol???

I have been growing for about 5 years now thankfully with no major problems and out of now where I have noticed my leaves looking like they are being eaten by something and some deformed growth but i have changed nothing over the last 5 years so not sure what's going on it's not heat stress my temps never go above 76F and I feed 1/4 strength of the full line of cutting edge solutions I grow in mother earth coco perlite mix ph range is from 5.8-6.2 on a feed water water feed regimen the light is a 12 bulb T5 with only 8 on for right now so it's not light stress either but dont get me wrong these plants are only 26 days from clone they are vigorous and grow fast I'm just not understanding the leaves and what's happening to them I also do azomax treatment once a month and I also spray the plants with captain Jack's once every month as preventative maintenance along with every watering my plants get cal mag even on the water days I'm sure I still missed something.

Thanks in advance

Looks to me like dammaged leaf growth deformity possibly from an insect bite. You dont seem to have any bugs. I would suggest removing any damaged leaves and see if it happens again. I do also notice red stem relating to food deficiancy, possibly ph.

The first few pics, of the fan leaf, looks like a cat or dog chewed off a few fingers of that leaf...now as for the others, that is some pretty strange and deformed newer growth. I honestly wouldn't stress too horribly over it buddy, I'd give it more time and observe for more discernable symptoms to emerge that may give a more accurate indication of what the problem is, IF there is indeed a problem. I know that in DWC, when cannabis growth rate far surpasses how fast it was naturally intended too, you can get some strange and defective looking leaves as a result of the plant growing so, SO fast. I'm not sure if that is the case here, but I can't say that it would surprise me if it were.
 
Yeah I'm not sure what to think about the new growth it's like it happened over the last few days and is getting worse on a few plants I have a 100x hand held microscope as well and I've checked every square inch of every plant no bugs neither as fir the larger fan leaves that just blows my mind because 4 days ago everything was perfect and now they look like that I dont have any pets either lol so that's why this has me concerned thank you for your replies I just hope maybe someone out there has had this happen before and knows what the hell is going on because honestly I'm stumped keep on growing and I will keep you all posted I'm going to take a few more pics later and upload those as well.

Yes please keep us posted buddy even if it turns out to be nothing at all so that future growers may find the thread! I've heard that elevated levels of stress can trigger a plant to grow deformed leaves, but aside from that and what I mentioned in my last post, I'm pretty stumped as well! Fingers crossed a vet will swing by and help us out.
 
Another update just a few more pictures going to track the progression over the next few days maybe it is plant stress because I do lollipop, super crop, and strip leaves like every few days to obtain the canopy that I want but I have always done this and have never had any growth look like this any insight from any grower that has experienced this would be much appreciated thanks in advance and thanknyou Logan I will keep updating as things progress I am always for trying to help the growing community even if it is through my mistakes if that's what this ends up being lol.

I guess we will have to see I will be transplanting these to 3 gallon pots later tonight they are full of healthy roots I also do 1 microbial brew every month as well to inoculate the roots.

I have one plant. Banana punch, that’s doing the same thing. Not affecting the growth tho. I’m in week 3 of flower.
