Hiya
Can anyone tell me what these are on my plants leaves. She's full into flower and grown straight into the ground. These markings are only on some of the leaves in the middle of my plant, the outside leaves don't have any. I'm thinking some sort of disease maybe?IMG_20200313_143122.jpg

Not a pro by any means, but that sure looks like a pest issue to me...check for webs and or use a microscope/loop and check bottom sides of the leaves on the plant in the effected area.

I’m with Mak’er....the blade on the left has a caterpillar that looks like it hit it....some little insects make your leaves look like that as they eat from underneath......I use washed river sand in the top layer over my soil in the pots; little insects can’t reproduce in the sand and you won’t have infestations to worry about

Mate; truth be told I didnt believe river sand would work; but over the last couple of years I just basically have not had to worry about bugs. Good Luck brother :weed:

Make up this natural concoction to spray the underside of your leaves...
1 litre water
1 x half teaspoon at most dishwashing liquid; add it as you blend so it doesn’t foam up on you; to a point where bubbles form but don’t overtake your blender
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 red birds eye chili’s
2 or 3 cloves garlic
Blend it all together madly until it is combined; strain the liquid with something in your kitchen and put it in a spray trigger bottle. DONT get it in your eyes and use sparingly in the blazing sun/heat lamp.
Chilli will kill and deter some mites etc as with the garlic; the soap and oil gets into the shell and stops from them being able to grow....enjoy!! it keeps infestations away without chemicals all over your goodness.
