think I have a bug problem. not spider mites.

Anybody know what asshole is doing this? I killed a few centipedes lately so maybe thats it

Damn, I've never seen anything like that! Although I'm fairly new at this. I'm sure someone here will have some idea whats doing that. Keep vigilant and try to find the culprit. GL.

Looks like spider mites.....Get some Neem oil and mix it with a couple drops of liquid soap and foliar feed them (make sure you get under the leaves)...8ml of Neem oil to 1 Liter water..with about 4ml of soap will kill all the little fuckers..and not harm the plant. HAd the same problem last grow..and this worked.

with damage like that you should easily see spider mites on the undersides of leaves ,dont think thats spider mites, if it is you must have a ton of them ,ive seen damage like that outside from catapillars though.

Actont - this is not from spider mites. I have my run with them and keep them under control with azamaxx and nukem...

This is something that started a couple weeks ago and I havent been able to figure it out.

Still need this resolved

My guess is a caterpillar, gotta be a big critter anyway. If it were a small bug there would have to be a bunch of them to eat that much and they would not be so localized at one part of the plant. Looks like whatever it was marched up the midrib of a few leaves munching as he went. There are some critters that are nocturnal, including some species of caterpillars, and they go down into the soil during the day.

So if the damage continues I'd be checking the underside of the leaves real well and check during the dark if need be.

I know what it is but I can't say it because nobody would believe me and I'd get nothing but grief. I will tell you that it has already gone away and you will see no more leaves like that. Yo

this is the internet we believe everything, id like to hear ur theory anyways

that looks more genetic, systemic, even nutrient perhaps...I'm not seeing bugs doin that....again, this is all speculative of course

Might well be right here, but if it's genetic I would think it would be widespread on the plant. And there are 10's of thousands of pictures posted here of every nutrient problem and grower fuck up imaginable, this one is pretty unforgettable. I got a hard time seeing a bug do it as well, it's too symetrical. I'm clueless but a large bug of some type if my guess. Somebody will figure it out.

I've never seen that before but to me it looks like a caterpillar. And come OP tell us what it was if you know like you say so in the future anyone else with similar damage know what it is.

Lets hear the theory

And also, it cant be genetics because I have 2 different strains that got this. A total of 5 plants, all in my veg room... nutrient, maybe, but I habent changed a thing from wuen I first started this line till now.. so I have no idea

Very strange and interresting! never saw something like that in 10years. Look like caterpillar but usually it's not as symetrical as this.I doubt it's nutrients. You should put the plant alone/scrap to avoid further problem.

Are you actually scared that people will say "bad" things about you? Come on, your not that thin skinned are you? Step up- let's hear your thoughts. This is the first time I've ever heard such a silly excuse for not giving up info that could help us all out. Why are "you" on this forum? For help I bet- now it's your turn to give.

This is interesting to me. Can you post more pictures?

I would say its just a deformity which happened
during growth.
Is this only on the new/top leaves?

deformities can happen for various reasons
caused mainly from over fertilization(especially
nitrogen),
and genetics can always play a role as much in
cannabis then anything else.

I think I had this happen with one of my first plants
along with complete leaves of mostly stem.
The reason I say think is because I remember
the leaves of mostly stem more than holes
it was a while ago.
I agree with JohnnySocco on this one.

My advice would be to thoroughly check
the plant for insects and if you find none
think about what you could have done to
affect the growth.

I would still use some neem as a protective
measure hope that helps.

this might be waaaay out there, but I know for a fact a natural gas leak can fuck with houseplants....about the only other thing I can come up with is some sortas "precision laser scalpel" wielded by greys.....is the plants anus & tongue missing? any blood around the site? black helicopters?
