There may be other issues but that one leaf with squiggly tracks Has a pest called leaf miner crawling between the top and bottom layers of the leaf. Trim off all of the squiggles with sharp pair of scissors — use embroidery scissors if you have them — and securely discard. If it’s impossible to cleanly trim the leaf, just cut off the entire leaf.

Don’t spray with anything until problem is identified.

For one plant, I typically use 100W to 120W equivalent Daylight CFL bulb. Don’t let the leaf touch the light bulb, but keep as close as possible. I can’t help with the 1000w.
