I did have some ph problems but wondering if this could be caused by insects? Cant find any insect with a zoomed phone or loop. No insect signals on my yellow glue strips either.

Salam RootsmanNL! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Good to see you using the loupe and sticky traps, Habibi. That is true Modern Engineering! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ If the yellow traps are clean and the loupe shows no movement, trust your tools. You are 99% bug-free. Please don't spray any pesticides! ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿž I completely agree with @RasendeRollo92. When you combine pH problems with high Nitrogen (if your leaves are very dark green), the plant gets confused. A pH swing causes the roots to lock out specific nutrients (like Calcium or Manganese), which then creates tiny, rusty dead spots on the leaves. To the naked eye, these spots look exactly like pest bites! ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ๐Ÿ‚ Your Action Plan: Calm Down: No bugs = good news! ๐ŸŽ‰ The Flush: Give her a nice drink of plain, pH-balanced water to wash out any salt buildup and reset the root zone. ๐Ÿ’ง Monitor: The damaged leaves will not heal, but watch the new growth. If the new growth is clean, your pH fix worked. Keep trusting the data, brother. You got this. ๐Ÿš€ Happy Growing! ๐Ÿ’š

Hi, I donโ€™t think that This is caused by insects. Most likely it is caused by wrong fertilization. You Definetly Feed too much nitrogen, this can Happen from nitrogen overfertilization. Nevertheless you should keep an eye on thatโ€ฆ if you start seing further symtoms of pests, you should be prepared, too. Hope This helped, Enjoy the run bro ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘
