get a mag. glass and look under the leaf. that looks like the work of thrips. they're really small.

Check out FAQ's,It should have an answer.I would use a nonchemical pesticide, (pyrethrin) but there may be better ways.

i had a few holes like that in a some of the fan leaves with my first crop,,,i checked the plants thoroughly and never found any bugs,it didnt get worse,so maybe a bug got in,had a nibble then left!them plants ended up producing big fat bud so unless you find any bugs in there or on ya plants i wouldnt worry,,,,,,peace

That's why you need a magnifier, at least 20X,it will let you see the little bugs,and they are little, can be missed with naked eye. Not that you had thrips,you may have burn holes from water droplets on leaves,I have had that happen too.

It just looks like a genetic thing....or a lil bit of nute deff....Its not a bite its just where leaves didnt grow together...Its genetics, i have fan leaves that grew in together on this grow and right now a second plant growing out my my first one...at the bottom where the codylns are, another set of ones grew out of it and now i see more leaf sets coming out...Weird shit happens on weeds...it is fine...unless you see bugs...
