I just added these plants on Saturday afternoon. They were basically unblemished then.

Now you can see lacerations forming in the leaves. In the first two pics, you can see a sort of cut in the middle of a leaf, and a cut at the outer edge of a leaf further back and above, with smaller lacerations elsewhere.

In the second two pics, you can see a more sizable hole in the leaf in the middle of the image next to the rock. (sorry about the camera pics -- they're pretty bad, though sometimes you can see what I mean).

I don't understand why this happens, and happens so quickly? What could be in the water (or not in the water) that would cause holes/cuts to appear so soon?

NOTE: I'm aware that I'm not dosing properly, and working to switch to PPS pro. That will be here in a week or so. Until then, I'd like to minimize any further damage, and understand the causes behind it!
