Kinda looks like magnesium or calcium deficiency.

It is hard for me to see the pictures as they are rather small.    I am
going for a disease caused by a pathogen or a mineral deficiency.  You could
try google images with search terms such as:

Are these plants indoors under lights?  In a greenhouse or coldfrae?
Ever been outside?  (Plants can be 'sunburned' if they are taken out
into sunlight after being indoors, under artificial light.)

Can't say for sure just what is going on, but the second image looks
like what I might expect if the plant was infested with spider mites.
