Whatever it is, has kinda specific taste because it's only eating from the similiar areas. Thanks for help! :hmmmm:

First of all, I'm a huge fan, night train is one of my fav albums! :laughtwo:

It's possible that it wasn't eaten. Ive had similar looking damage that didn't have to do with pests. Do you ever see bugs? Definitely get some yellow sticky traps either way. I cut them up and scatter them around the tent including on top of my medium where some things like to crawl. I also recently decided to treat for pests from now on with or without signs of them as a preventative. Water with mosquito bits, spray with spinosad.
 
I clean my tent weekly with bleach. One of the cuts was from 1-2 weeks but today I saw another one so it's not increasing in regular order. I'm starting to think it's not a bug problem but if it isn't what? Also it's not look like a big problem I just wanted to make sure. Any more view? Thanks

Granted I'm kind of a pariah here for the way to grow but I just can't understand why people bother with tents and reading that you clean yours weekly with bleach just enforces my opinion; what a pain in the butt that must be. Your leaves looked pretty healthy to this guy.

Cleaning a tent with bleach has little to do with pests, mites are opportunistic and ride along with household pets and/or the gardener. I had a few similar holes in the foliage last week and found my shit covered with mites AGAIN! I hope that’s not the case for you.

Can you spot the mites without magnifying?

If you have good eyes you can see spider mites, because they move and are different colored. Aphids are a bit harder with the naked eye cause they are more plant colored.
Get a cheap loupe and you’ll see them clear as day.
I will randomly pluck a lower inner leaf and check the underside of it for activity. Only takes a minute and a leaf and it could save literally your whole crop down the line.

I hope not because I lived this shit one time. You suggest cut the leaf and check with magnifier. (2-3 weeks ago I guess) I applied neem oil twice and clean the tent, problem was solved until now. I'm going to check it for the next 2-3 days to see is it increasing. Also how did you fix your problem?

If you have only 1 plant and only 1 shot for the next 9 months, you do everything you can just in case :D

Anyone else remember Night Train wine? Never got into drinking that one but a few companions would pass a bottle around along with the joint. ;)

I have had holes appear in the leaves. The holes do not go away but so far all I find are a few on occasion. I figure whatever caused them got killed off, or discouraged, by one of my Neem or Nuke 'Em spray sessions and left.

I thought that as well. Whatever it is, i think it's dying after eating the leaf because it's happening occasionally between 1/2 week or so.
 
I’m no expert on the critters and I’ve been struggling with mites myself. I had freaking tiny white mites on bucket rims and now I’m spraying 3 days in a row then going to every 3rd day for at least 2 weeks. Sometimes one or two sprays can eradicate them fairly well but other times that’s not enough to kill them all so they come back with a vengeance.

The problem is clothes, pets, store bought garden soils, working outdoors, bringing in clones, house plants or garden veggies and if it’s not one of these then it’s because the previous batch of mites or insects was knocked down pretty hard on the first pass but regained a foothold. I noticed mites were coming out of my container weep holes by themselves and then later along with runoff water. If mites are on the bottom of the container like I recently discovered then you’ve got a shit ton of mites and that’s gonna take a miticide soil drench several days in a row plus serious spraying.

Sometimes you gotta switch to another chemical or your spraying methods are not right. Learned this the hard way but here’s how to spray. Elevate the plant, mix your soup - shake well, spray leaf undersides first, get up all in her bushes from the underside, get stems & stalks too, remove from elevated point and spray bucket rims, spray bucket sides, spray soil line where bucket meets the soil, spray the soil, spray top down on foliage, spray main trunk again, you might want to give the soil a drench with your spray solution and set the plant in a shallow drip pan and pour some spray mix in there for the soil in the bottom of the container to soak up.
