Just experienced something similar.
I don’t know your physical location so don’t know what pests are indigenous.
I had leaf miners and grubs.
If you don’t want 3-5 ounces of alfalfa get some neem oil or Cannacure and douse that baby in it.
There are signs of leaf mining damage and if you get those grubs I had then it’s soul destroying.
Months of work down the drain.

@yano no neem oil allowed anywhere near anything I intend to consume. Is this an outdoor or indoor grow? You on veg or flower?

@frogslayer Apichi is the organic equivalent of neem

@battlemorph Cannacure also organic according to their product information.
They do not list the ingredients but they are a company I trust through personal experience.

@frogslayer I wouldn’t spray it on a flowering plant, but I have also experienced a ruined crop due to an infestation and it’s not nice. Use something else then but definitely get rid of whatever that is. I couldn’t afford treatment or prevention when it happened to me and I seriously regret not dealing with it.
I’ll know in about 3-4 weeks if I have been successful, if not then I’ll be scrapping everything, disinfecting all of my equipment again and starting from scratch.
In fact I would spray Cannacure on the fan leaf of my flowering plant if it meant my crop was smokeable.
I top dress with diatomaceous earth and I’m using Cannacure every 3-5 days….sorry to repeat myself.
I’ll definitely be letting the group know how successful/unsuccessful this has been.
Winter is coming so hopefully I won’t be picking up any illegal aliens on the dog walk.
I have also added insect screens to my input fan.

if I can find one I will. drenched the shit out of them with the lost coast before lights out and cant seem to find anything this morning. last night when I noticed this I only saw one of the little shits was very small and fast. its only a tiny 2 plant grow

@badpapa Bad bugs tend to be slow moving while predators tend to be fast movers.

@jmystro is it Wierd that I only see the damage on one leaf? This is only my second run so I kinda panicked I’m almost 4 weeks in since I popped the seeds waiting on my tent to finish up got about one week or so left till I can move these. I think they look ok so far

If it really is insects I would take the plants outside and with diatomaceous earth powder the under side of the leaves, the stems, the tops of leaves so they are so nice and dusty then place them back in the tent ( don’t breath this dust in!!!) I’d let them roll all dusty for 3 days then take them back outside like on a deck or something and wash them off with a hose. It sucks to wash off but this will work 100 percent on any bugs, DE is extremely non selective. I did this this year with my outdoors for aphids. You can only do this in veg. We’ll I guess you can do whatever you want in flower but I personally wouldn’t try it on mine lol.

@frogslayer I will keep a close eye on them and see if anything pops up I can’t seem to find anything moving or anything that looks like eggs. But I did drench them with that lost coast stuff and hit the top of the soil with the diatomaceous earth. Hopefully nothing pops up. Thanks for the advice
