What’s wrong? Is this bugs or nutrients issues? Help!

My leaves got damaged a few weeks ago. First I thought we might have gotten some small hails. But the yellow spot could be lack of some nutrients.

I planted them outdoor. Before transplanting, I added organic soil acidified and bone & blood meal. I added some worm casings as well. This weekends, I added more acidified and worm casing.

The water supply we have here is from aquifer and I think it’s runs a little high pH but never test it’s.

I noticed some really small praying mantis on the plants. Could it be them eating my leaves?

If there’s a praying mantis there’s a good chance he’s on your plant to eat the bugs. Leave him to do his business

Yes, I never touched the Mantia and ladybugs. They are my friends, lol!

Ah, yes! I remember seeing a few inch worms earlier. I flicked them off and sprayed the plants. Hadn’t seen any more of them so hope to keep them off.
Thanks so much for your pictures. It sure looks the same.
I make spray with crushed garlic and hot chili pepper which I detailed in the thread ‘Spider lites, the bane of my existance’, if you’re interested to try totally organic pesticide and deterrent.
