I’m in the first week or so of flower and I’m seeing what looks like bite marks and strange yellowing on some leaves.
The last pic I cropped shows what’s possibly thrips. Pretty simple to treat with spinosad.
I also found a very small brown and round bug on one of the leaves that I couldn’t find a similar picture of online
Besides the pest also be ware that a fan that is blowing to strong on a plant can also cause some of these leaf issues.
Last two pictures kind of look like a bug…thrip if it is a bug. But I see more physical damage from topping or defoliating. Sometimes when you pluck a leaf or top you damage the node at the base of the petiole or stem. Then it grows out deformed. Doesn’t take much. Also the second pic looks like variegation. Which is a mutation that can be quite common. They can even grow out of it. Third pic looks deformed, I’ve seen this many times in my grows and never resulted into issues. They arent bite marks, but could be physical damage as well. I’d say be safe and spray with spinosad like Mystro mentioned. Plenty of time to spray in the first couple weeks of flower.
Thanks, I ordered some spinosad and in the mean time I’ve been spraying with neem oil every few days
Yeah play safe but I’m with new leaf. If it’s thrip then you will see little shiny slime marks on the leaves. It’s clear and has the appearance of mucus. I Dont see any munching going on it’s a rare pest indoors that actually gets a bite out of anything. Our indoor pests like to suck our plants more than eat them threw .
