Damn Bugs? Which one could be cutting my leaves in half.

[Shastafarian]

Got a bug or catapillar eating good on my center growth that I cant find on my last Raspberry Cookies and its pissing me off bad. So 4 days ago I used Doctor Dooms bug bomb on my entire room and plants. I still have damn blade cutters chomping though after treating, but Im not sure what these bastards are. They cut circles in leaves just cut stems and leaves in half and any new tender growth is 1st choice....yikes..... I looked hard as hell under leaves and in soil with still no findings. Im thinking Azamax but not sure and need help Identifying what it is before I can treat it. I got a better example I will hive you on another pic here in a few.Thanks hommys

did you top it? I dont see bugs damage. What the PH?

 

[Shastafarian]

Nope, I didnt top it the bug did that for me when it was 2weeks old and stunted it, now its 4wks old and looks like that. There is some leaf damage there you probably just need to look again, but it is suttle. Ok then, here is some pics of my HashBar Og and White K. that have been chewed on and alot of leaves they eat just the stem off and the leaf is left dangling to die. They dont even eat the damn leaf they just Fuck it up and go to the next..........Ahhhhhhhhhhh these Mufuckas My PH is 6.3 so Im fine there but I have over watered a few times which is Not the end of the world.

Something that eats like that should be seen by the naked eye......Look for it and kill it.....Don't have cats do you?

 

[Shastafarian]

No cats man…..thats kinda why I asked and I have been looking like crazy with no luck under leaves on stalks and in the soil with no clue?

The Doctor is correct...you need to search and destroy...my hunch would be a caterpillar of some type...that kind of damage means it has to be there...somewhere.
Find it and kill it.
Good luck!

I have searched through 12 plants to find any kinds of moving bugs on the undersides or tops of leaves for 4 days and again with NO RESULTS BECAUSE THEY ARE STEALTHY NINJAS that I am having trouble with.
This is why I posted the thread amigos???????? I guess Im gonna just Azamax or Neem oil treat my plants then Bomb them again with house hold bug bomb this time and then Foliar wash the piss out em since you guys don't have any good advice?

Using bug bombs are absolutely a bad idea. Not only will it leave a chemical residue all over the place , but the chemicals such as Bifethrin or pyrethrins, permethrin, and methoprene are all dangerous. Plus the possibilities of killing your plants because of droplets adhering to leaves. Try neem oil or bug soap , items available at most nursery specifically designed for veg and fruit use plants.

Grab your loupe and inspect all sides of leaves , buy some sticky paper insect traps to see if you get any insects . Mutations can also happen to growing plants.

Thanks man…. I was just kidding about the house hold Bug Bomb, LMAO…. Im gonna drink a nice IPA and cook a good burger to stay in tonight just so I can find this Ninja Assassin hopefully. I don't think I will need a loop because I am a pretty keen at this and I can see real good. I must have messed up somewhere and had some bug eggs on my pants or shoes or accidentally letting the bug inn my garden.

Well that's not a well worded answer as Neem/soaps and the like all adhere to the plant where you spray them!

BTW,,,Pyth and Perm are organic based...from flowers.

 

[Shastafarian]

I used Azamx and its worked perfect.

Make sure you tell the WHOLE STORY about pesticides/insecticide .

You left out that it IS TOXIC regardless of where it is derived from . The only characteristic of pyrethroids that is a plus is that it degrades quickly.

Exposure to pyrethrum in high levels in humans may cause symptoms such as asthmatic breathing, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, headache, nausea, loss of coordination, tremors, convulsions, facial flushing and swelling.[There is a possibility of damage to the immune system that leads to a worsening of allergies following toxicity exposure.

Use ONLY products designed for foliage/plant use. You can make your own bug spray with ivory soap and water.
