Hey guys, I'm growin indoors in soil and my plants are in the second week of flowering. About a week ago i started noticing what looked like little tears in the leaves of one plant. They weren't really spreading over the whole leaf though, and I thought that would happen if they were bugs, but then yesterday I saw the same thing on a leaf of another plant. I've been checking everyday for bugs but i can't find any, either flying around or crawling on the leaves. Any help identifying what the problem may be would be helpful. Thanks!

I've seen the same kind of rips.tears,cuts, etc. on most of my grows (maybe all, but can't swear to it) . . . I've never attributed it to pests. Don't know what causes it, but have accidentally run into light fixtures, door frames, etc. You know, basic wear and tear. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it spreads uniformally.
In your middle pic, what's that showing just above the contusion?

I'm not exactly sure which contusion ur talking about in that pic, cus there are 2, or what ur talkikng about in general, lol. but if it's that white spec on the one leaf i think it's just paint/plaster chips from the wall of the closet. I hadn't really moved the plants around that much before I noticed the tears, but yea bumping into things is definitley a possibility.

I do take back that i haven't seen any bugs though...I just found 2 really little black things flying around, sounds like fungus gnats to me maybe?? and then I found like a 1/4 inch long little wasp loking thing, but i saw him in my room earlier so I think he mite have just showed up in there. Thanks for the help, if any one else has any ideas let me know!

Hi mate, I think the leafs with the mark are just minute damage when the leaf was very little and as it gets bigger the damage is magnified. I have it on mine as well (every no and then
The little black things may be Thribes, check your soil, they mate in the toplayer of soil (I think). I am in hydro and just had to deal with them Their larvae hang out on the underside of leafs, tiny little fuckers, you can see em good with your harvest lense. The adults are fast and will run away before they resort to flying. I used something that had Spinosad in it combined with some sticky blue traps. I do not know about the soil but in hydro we need to treat the medium as well when it gets bad.


Good luck mate!!
