I am having a hard time figuring out why my leaves look like they are being eaten
Bluntblazer66started grow question 5y ago
I have never before seen this indoors before. It looks like the leaves are being eaten. I can’t see any bugs in the grow tent, or on the plants. I have looked with a magnifying glass and can’t see anything.
This is happening to all 4 plants in this reservoir.
Could this be nutrie

It DOES look like pests. Nutrient burn is possible, but only if they grew like that right away. But if the leaves were fine one day and looked like this the next day, I would have expected nutrient burn to have left some brown or yellow around the holes.
Personally, my guess would be moths. While they are the easiest to see, if you're looking for little critters, moths are easy to miss. Opening your tent while it's dark and turning a lamp on outside of the tent for a few minutes may draw them out. Do this immediately at lights out or right before lights on so you don't stress your plants at all.
Also looks like you have or did have N toxicity at some point. Your leaves are rather dark. Good luck!

Should the first set of leaves being "wavy" anything to worry about? Or is this normal with plants?
She looks perfectly fine and healthy, so I think I'm just over worrying about it.
She has been through some humidity "swings" the first week or so up until I bought a humidifier.Week 2

Leaves on one side are dying but don't feel crunchy.Due to slight nutrient burn problems I've given this plant less nutrients than usual.
But last week the leaves on one side of the plant were hanging and dying off.
They don'y feel crunchy and don't break off when you touch them. But they're thin.

New sprout has white tips a day old???Qmz,
one of my sprouts has white tips already and it only sprouted a day ago?!? Somehow I lost track of what pots had seeds and ened up somehow putting two seeds in one pot. I decided to carefully dig away the soil with a fine tool and transplant it.

Slow growth / malformed leavesThis is my second grow and 1st attempt at hydroponics. This is the 20th day and the symptom is very slow growth and the leaves are dark green as well as they're malformed. I am using tap water that has been filtered. I am using a total of 4TSP / 20ml of Nutrient 500ppm
