Holes/missing chunks of leaves - heat stress or ?

Hello!


Probably pics could tell more than me - but for details - occurred on only some leaves and just on top of plant.

They are some 4-5 cm under 125 W CFL + extra 4 CFL 20w on sides of 4 plants.

Overall

I see gnat shit so maybe you have other small insects?

Do you mean those brown and white particles ? Dust and remains of soil after repoting. At least haven`t been able to find any mites around.

This looks like an egg of some sort.
In black.

Hang a sticky fly trap and put duct tape on the floor sticky side up around your plant to catch the flyers and the crawlers if ya got em

I also see some mild heat stress too..

She looks good otherwise..

Gnats. Little flying bugs.
Looks like gnat shit and a green egg to me.

Well, some closeups

Damn I need new eye's, How the hell did you pick that tiny little speck out on the left N&N..lol

It's like a sniper identifying a target. Once you do it plenty you can't miss them.

Winged Root Aphids?

I don't have bugs and sometimes get random holes and defects.

Use just a VERY VERY VERY little neem oil.. Cold Pressed neem oil, that has been heated up a little, and mixed VERY well with a couple drops of dish soap...

If you use a small enough of an amount, you won't effect the taste of your buds and it will kill those damned little bugs that eat into your plants.

Maybe you can wipe the leafs with some beer. Use a paper towel, and take a look under the leafs too.

Beer??

AHhhhhh the fermentation??

Hmmm, but what is the point of trying to fight any kind of insects, if I haven`t been able locate any on leaves. About gnats - could they be so small, that it`s impossible to see them with naked eye? Haven`t seen ay, neither in growbox, neither in room.

Could it be TMV or thay is just a myth?

You probably had a bug that came and went. I had one with a leaf all chew up about three weeks ago. Since then, nothing. Some bugs will chew on mj but they'll quikly decide that they don't care much for the plant. If it was a bug that enjoys mj I'm sure there would be some sign of the critter.
Don't use poison on the plant(s). I wash the op with liquid raid mixed with some water in a bucket. Get the residual stuff meant for creepy crawlers. If you "think" you have to spray poison be sure to move the plant(s) somewhere safe away from the poison.
Put sticky tape around the plantpot(s) so the critters can't get to the plant(s).
