Couple weeks into flower, new pests? Please help

[Bnelly]

I have a Granddaddy Purple girl who's on mid 2nd week of flowering outdoors. I found these marks on a few leaves and haven't seen them before. Maybe someone else has?

Setup
5 gal fabric pot
3:1 FFOF:FFHF with ~20% perlite
Nutes: Age Old Bloom, Silica Blast, and Cal-Mag ph to 6.5
Temps mostly 70s
Humidity ~40%
Light: specific no shade spot, so direct sun all day

Is it only on this one leaf? I have had these on my outdoors and I just watched if it spread and cut off the infected leaf in case a bug was in it.

Its on a few of them, definitely not most of them though

best thing to do is see if it spreads I think, if a leaf is damaged when young the issue will increase in size with the leaf.

Figure I will update, I now know this to be little caterpillars. Caught one of the dudes eating away at her this morning. Thanks for the help

squish it in your fingers to get the satisfaction that it will never harm another plant

Pretty much what I did, now I just gotta find the rest of them lol should be a blast

If you look up Bacillus thuringiensis spray or BT spray it is organic and will kill off any caterpillar that eats a treated leaf. Not a cure all but it can help keep them away while you sleep

I would just try get it on the leaves I actually did not think about the flowering I have never used the spray but know it works, they market it as safe to use on edibles up to harvest but it works as a spore so you would want to wash it off of an edible before consumption. Research the spray and maybe you can spray heavy with water after to wash off?

Yeah I plan on doing a H2O2 bath at harvest anyways with the old nasty outdoors lol I'm more concerned with mold than anything else, we've already had some gloomy damp days in a row
