@Capo420 i was supposed to also mention that the use of Diatomaceous earth can help deter most bugs etc I like to sprinkle some on the top of my soil and if I see bugs/pests I actually spray the whole plant with DE mixed with water that leaves a chalky residue on the leaves that the bugs can't stand

But the first one could be possible if it was tucked under other leaves or something where it had contact with something and had air movement it will just slowly work away at the leaf like that and cause the missing tissue

The last two look like they could easily be from some physical trauma you may have done and not realized. The first picture is the one that seems like a pest of some sort. I had something nibbling at my seedlings a while back and it actually ended up being a mouse nibbling at them. Consider if that’s possible..

Any tips for watering during the seedling stage right after germination? I keep either overwatering or underwatering. I'm scared to start in a solo cup as I'm doing mainly Autos and they might stunt the growth when transplanting. Grateful for as many details as possible.

Neem oil in coco 6-7 weeks into flower Growmies!... Is Neem oil OK to use in coco when 6 - 7 weeks into flower? Pests are in the medium, not the foliage. I read that the plant can absorb some taste/smell from the Neem.. Anybody have any experience with drenching medium with Neem this far into flower? And results?...

My plant is short and wide and the center is pretty crowded with leaves but they are all starting to produce trichomes. Is it an issue to have leaves touching each other in this state or do I have to remove some? I don't really want to mess with her in this stage.

Leaf miners I spotted leaf miners' damage on a couple of leaves and an adult fly. What can I do to prevent them to spread and get rid of them at this stage of flowering? For now I'm trying to low the humidity a bit more to make the environment less ideal for them.

I found 2 fungus gnats on one of my sticky traps. Is a couple of them a major cause for concern? I can't see any moving around. Both of the pots in the tent are currently closer to on the dry side. Should I take any preventative measures?
