Weird Leaf (Chocolate Bhutlah)

I had a whole bunch of leaves do this randomly on one of my plants. I just left them alone and it eventually stopped
Couldn't find any bugs whatsoever
 
I know some plants have a claw like appearance when synthetic nitrogen is too high
 
The "tracks" on the leaf are leafminer, but that's not what caused the problem. Leafminer damage is unsightly, but other than that, rather inconsequential.
.
Mites often cause the new buds to turn brown and be growth stunted. Look for that...
 
Do you feel like your fertilization could have been a little strong?  If so, just water the next few times and see how they do.  Over fert would be my guess, but it shouldn't be an issue.  I'm guessing your plants still look nice and healthy.
