Hey there,
since a couple of weeks i noticed some strange leave rolling on my plants. Could be the reason for this an infection with mites or some other pests? Or is it maybe because of too much exposure to the growing light? I repotted them yesterday and noticed that on some plants the rolling went even more.
All plants allready got sprayed 2 times with an insecticide containing pyrethrine. Most of my plants are sugar rush stripey.

There are very visible bugs of some sort on your plant. The collection of white ones appear to be possibly aphids.
That appears to be the work of aphids.
Pyrethrin is effective against aphids and mites, but you should stop applying once ladybugs, lacewings, and hoverflies start appearing. The good thing about pyrethrins are their relatively rapid breakdown in UV light (generally gone in about 24 hours). Just make sure that the label reads pyrethrin and not pyrethroid (synthetics) as those are much more stable and have a fairly long residual (2-3 weeks).
