should I be concerned about this hole on my leaf?
moswald14started grow question 3y ago
hole showed up today. wondering if this looks like a pest did it or if its something that just happens from time to time. I read that holes can appear in leaves when there isn't enough potassium, but I'm feeding with molasses so that shouldn't be an issue.

Honestly, it's not something I would worry about at all.. in fact, I've got a couple of those same holes on one of my ladies - I've ignored them and there haven't been any further holes... Catepillar holes are much larger and not so easy to miss... and the holes multiply daily... and other insects (thrips, aphids, spider mites, whiteflies) don't actually chew the leaf so that a hole is created...
I've not heard that a potassium deficiency would produce anything like that either - but even if it did, your molasses is more than adequate...
No worries! Good luck!

No, Looks fine to me. Inspect the underside of your leaves and keep an eye for more. Larger bugs like caterpillars will cause holes. The small bugs that are hard to see usually wont make a hole but do visible damage.
It looks more like physical damage then anything. Bent the leaf by accident or its rubbing on something else.

There has been some hungry little bug enjoying this cannabis leave. Look at the bottom for bugs and search for more indicators. You need to know what bug it is to choose the best pesticide against them.
Here is a link from the grow weed easy website with all the different natural pesticides. And which natural pesticide is the most effective against which bugs.

The ladies are telling me something but I'm no weed-whisperer yet so I'm gonna need help. They are now 3 weeks since germination and I've only been watering them once a day with a spray. No nutrients yet. I have a 3-2-5 nutrient for Herbs & Tomatos but maybe only while flowering?Week 4

What it wants from me againHey I just wanna know why do leaves look droopy someday. Not that much tho. Sometimes I see that plants are just not in their mood to climb up high. They look slightly like tired. I’m not overwatering but it might be about humidity or heat, not sure. They usually in 80FLeaves. Other

Hi guys, please help! Everything was fine with my plants, they are flowering for 4 weeks. But when I opened the box today, I found that one of them is not doing well. All the leaves are dropped down, and one branch dropped to the ground and almost broke.

Nutrition lockout?What’s wrong with these plants? It’s the first 4 in the video that you see. Rusty spots. It’s not a fungus. Some lower Leaf tacoing, runoff PH low but have been doing nothing but filtered water at 6.5. For over a week now. Soil grow, end week 4 of flower. Looking small for SLHautLeaves. Other

Super thin leafs at the TopThe leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?Week 6

Will these amount to anything??What do you think is causing the bright yellow tips on one of the top leaves?? It’s very concentrated and looks like the tip was barely dipped in yellow paint.
Do these two plants, at their current size, have the potential to kick off an ounce or two ? Thanks to all that replyWeek 4
