Hello everyone, I was checking over my plant today and realized that something is eating my leaves. I looked and looked for the culprit, but to no avail. Any ideas what it could be?

Here are some pics:

Its just me but I have NEVER had knats eat my plants, their mainly a nuisence. This looks like what I call "Munchers" little green grasshopper like creatures. Look VERY closely under leaves too. Chances are they jump off when you come near. Sulfur your grow room if possible. Research online for techniques. I just had to do this for mold, its supposed to kill spider mites but after a 3hour blast I still saw lively ones. But I bed they will take care of the munchers. They blend into the leaves like you wouldnt believe.

Looks like Grasshoppers.

When they are little they are very hard to see and look just like leaves.

If you can kill them between your fingers, the others will stay away. You can probably see them move if you spray some water on them.

They don't like garlic.

Good Luck :leaf:

If there are no sign of bugs, and by the size of the chunks taken out of the leaves you'd be looking at a largish insect, then it could well be some form of leaf distortions rather than insect derrived.

I'm starting to think its some sort of leaf distortion to after staring at her for hours with a magnifying glass and finding nothing, I was doing some research on the hole in the stem and thought it was one of those boring worms, so I cut the branch off and disected it. Turns out there was nothing in there so I cut it off for nothing. Guess I learn somethin new every day.
+rep to all who have helped

I would do a systemic treatment with AzaMax once a week for three weeks to be safe and prevent what potentially could be an infestation of things you don't want.

Do you have snails where you r, if so could it be that. Look in at night and you will find the bugger. If snail put some copper wire around the bottom of the plant, not to tight. Snails will not cross.

All else fails get a ORTHO home defense strip, their the dope.

Hi, not trying to hijack, but I have the EXACT same problem. I am a cabinet grower. My cab is air tight except for the filtered intake and exhaust, and I only open the door once a day to check on the plants. These are in my basement and I spray the property for house bugs monthly (not in the cabinets and not when the fans are on). I am leading to believe that it is genetic somehow as this is just some random bag seed from some dank AND I have some oddly shaped leaves [see pics] , but I dont have any lesions, i just checked. The plant is three weeks into flowering, and seems otherwise healthy they could have been there all along for all I know, but I just pulled the plant out to move some leaves and do some trimming and noticed.

Could that lesion possibly be the old spot for a fan leaf?





Here are my pics.
