This two leaves on my vine have these odd notches. I'm not sure how long they've been there. The rest are normal. Is this normal, or is something preying on my plant?

Those ripples are normal. I wouldn't worry about it.

Andy's dead one as always. Some plants get this and some don't.

Totally normal.

Is this maybe from cal nitrate or something equivalent? I almost never see it, but I also use cal nitrate very rarely. That stuff is potent especially if it comes in direct contact with the plant. I did do something similar that to a different crop, with cal nitrate being the culprit.
It may indicate a micronutrient deficiency relative to the amount of calcium or nitrogen...?

Yup, Andy is correct again. Thanks for the input Andy, it’s appreciated and certainly helpful.

I was led to believe early on that it was too much N that caused that.

That said, my nitrogen was higher than ever this season and I have none of that. Seems genetic if that is the case.
