Any ideas on what could be doing this?
I don't see any bugs on it. Thanks in advance.

Caterpillars normally start on the edge and work in. Could be a leaf Skeltonizer

I had the same thing as the op on my veggies and a plant. Turned a leaf over and there was a 2" worm ( different than a bud worm ) on the vein of a half eatin leaf. Any ways , Spinosad will stop that shit right now .

Spider mites ; use Neen oil and spray on plants or a dish soap/water mixture (50/50) for 1 week

This leave was still functionable, shouldn't have cut it off

Could be moths as well! Bastards eat clothing too!

For sure not spider mites... Would start feeding with the advised solution listed above or pick yourself up some azamax and start spraying twice a day..

I'm using BT or Bacillus Thuringiensis this year to kill as many caterpillars as posiable

A worm or earwig. If you cant find a worm then it is the other. Maybe a grass hopper.

caterpillar or snail ftw!

i think they would need to be a new variety of giant spider mites to make so many large holes

Yeah, it's for sure not spider mites. I had those a few years ago and lost 1/2 the harvest to those little fuckers.
I've inspected very close for worms and caterpillars and haven't found any. Possibly moths? Or some kind of fungus.
I sprayed her down with some organic pest/fungus stuff. We'll see.
The fan leaves are prematurely yellowing too. (see pics)
But all the new growth looks healthy. About 1 week into flower.
The plant growing right next to her is twice as big and healthy as can be. Got me befuddled.

I've noticed grasshoppers hear and there on mine. I've also noticed a great deal of small frogs around and on my plants. They've been keeping things tidied up for me.
