Curious what this is

Have Jack Herrer clones growing in soil. The mother plant was exhibiting this same problem, and it's on some of the clones too. Light green, misshapen, sickle-shaped leaves, seems to happen to the new growth. Besides that, the plant seems healthy, just curious if anyone has seen this before and can tell me what it might be. Genetics? Nutes? Wind?

It has happened to me in the past, same spots and same curly mutation! I thought about TMV too but I have read a lot about it and it is very difficult to diagnose and actually there are very few tests that were positive for TMV in cannabis plants. I remember some time ago I read about it that the spots in the leaves are homogeneous over the whole leaf and don't stop in the central vein or only on certain parts of the leaf, it could be variegation or just genetics doing this tricks that could only bother the eye. My plants only showed these spots on a few leaves and then that was it, I totally cared and forgot about it and nothing happened. In theory it should be infectious TVM so you should see it in all the other plants around it but if they are of the same genetics it is hard to tell if it is just a genetic trait or actually a virus
In any case do you smoke tobacco?

Interesting, this is actually the closest thing I've seen to what my plants look like. I have 2 other mothers (different strains) in with this one though, and none of them exhibit this. Also, none of the other clones from the other strains show this either. So doesn't seem to be transferring between plants. I do not smoke tobacco. At this point I'm leaning towards genetics, but this is a possibility. Either way, guess there's not much to do but ride it out!

Is it a bag seed?

No, it's actually bought from a seed bank online, which is pretty crazy. I've had good genetics in the past, maybe this seed was just a dud. I've got a few other seeds of this strain I haven't germinated yet, will probably switch out this mother eventually (if the flower turns out subpar) and see if the other seeds are healthier.

I’ve had several plants that would throw wonky leaves like that every once in a while. Usually only one plant and it might throw 3-5 strange leaves over a grow cycle. Never got worse, never caused problems.

All genetics are a crap shoot …. Especially now. No matter photo or Autoflower.
Genetic dilution is all over the place.
So bunk strains / crosses / early release-tester / etc. is a high possibility when you buy.
Seedbanks sling what they stock - nothing more nothing less.

Totally possible that seeds in non original blister packs or sealed containers can be anything.
A tiny zip bag of “ seeds “ with a label sticker guarantees what ?
How you gonna really know what seed is in there ? S1 gen seeds are easy to sell off , working the strains for consistency takes time.
Some breeders work their gear - many just sling “ new flavors “ or IG pretty names for a strain and hype it up.
