Something invisible is eating leaves!
Little_Potstarted grow question 2 years ago
Something is eating leaves! There are two big holes on the top leaves since yesterday. Also it looks like the sides of new leaves are eaten off. It seems like there are some micro yellow things on the eaten edges, but they are to small for me to see. What could it be?

I am not 100% convinced this is a pest.
It looks like signs of mutation or stress on the leaves and I would be guessing this is from overwatering or something else in the root zone.
I have seen odd growth like this on some of my plants before that I overwatered. It grows all weird without enough oxygen at the roots.
As for pests though if you think it might be something best to identify the pest, try sticky traps or looking for them in the top layer of soil or under the pot.
Good Luck!

Glad to know I could be of help on this question for you.
I hope the new reply on the new question will shed some more clarify onto the situation.
We will get to the bottom of this but I need some more information about your grow first.
Good Luck!

Thanks! I already have yellow and blue stickers around, no signs of insects on them so far. But new leaves are really not looking healthy. They are extremely thin on the base, and instead of 5 or 7 fingers they have 3 or even only 1, I uploaded new picture. I am very sad.

High little pot,
Yes you do not want to spray the leaves when the lights are still on! This will cause brown burned spots and after these spots probably just left these scars.
When it doesn't become worse so no new spots you are fine. When you notice more please search for caterpillars. The scars look a lot like the damage they make.
It is always smart to hang sticky yellow tape strips in and around your plant to identify and notice pests straight away!
Happy Growing! đ

Im thinking that maybe @m0use is right, and the damage is not done by bugs. 1 week ago I sprayed plants with diy insecticide soap and it burned baby leaves pretty hard. So maybe now those damaged leaves are growing strange. Still, it looks like plants reacted good to neem oil, I will repeat in 7 days

I have bought neem oil, so I sprayed it today on both plants. It looks like damage stopped, and the holes are not getting bigger. I see no bugs or caterpillars, or snails so far.

High Little_Pot,
I think that this is done by Caterpillars!
The first sign of caterpillars is just seeing chunks of your leaves missing. You may also see clumps of black/brown âdirtâ on your leaves, which is caterpillar poop.
You can use neem oil to spray the leaves. Neem oil is 100% biological and really cheap. And it will kill and prevent a whole lot of bugs that are a threat to our beloved cannabis.
You need neem oil with a emulsifier, green soap is the best organic option here. Because neem is an oil it doesn't solve into water.
You make a 3% neem oil solution mixed with tap water. Spray this on the leaves for 1 week (top and bottom) and the bugs will be gone.
It works agains almost all the bugs that eat from the leaves.
When you want to get rid of bugs that live in the soil and eat your roots like gnats. You can use the same solution of 3% neem oil and then just use this watering the pot. Same result, within a week the bugs are gone!
Happy Growing! đ

You've got some type of leaf eater (obviously) and it really doesn't matter which one. If you spray your plants thoroughly with some BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), the munchers will take one bite and decide to have lunch elsewhere... and go off and die. You can pick some up on Amazon or at any garden center.. It's organic and can be used right up to harvest if need be...

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

3 days in, only cotydelons with no sign of the first true leaves. Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?
