Holes in leaves No bugs found any ideas?

[Diabolical666]

That's True about the lights when its dark so you gave me an idea. I could shut the lights off for a bit then open the tent doors keep the main room closed and turn on a lamp to draw them towards it?
Edit: If indeed they are in there

you'd know if they were there, you'd see em

I didn't realize you have 2 tents with the same problem in both tents. Seems like rogue stinkbugs in multiple locations like that might be unlikely. Do you know what stinkbug shit looks like? If they are there for any amount of time there will be shit. I find shit stains from time to time on top of my curtains.

That's what I thought I can usually spot anything that's not supposed to be in there but I not going to say for sure. Also my smaller tent is barley a 3x3 so when I clean it out every wall pretty much gets wiped down as well as pots bottoms and sides every so often.

nah dude that's proly nothing. ph issue.. or something stupid. had it on a few plants last run. I think it was water burning my leaves from when I was feeding.

That can happen during training. Pinch a small leaf and you end up with holes in it later on.

Nope haven't seen there shit I have done the shake test for thrips before so I tried that today trying to see if any bugs fell onto the paper but practically nothing comes off except the odd black spec which always seems to be soil left over from prior transplants.

True I do use a spray bottle to moisten my soil top before watering maybe a fine mist is gathering? Water is not chlorinated.

Ya I have been training the shit outta them but I noticed my small 1 small plant that hasn't bee trained yet (she's not big enough yet) also has the same damage on 1 or 2 small areas.

 

[Dave017]

I went and checked the remaining holes on leaves I haven't removed and I can almost match up a leaf tip with the damaged area. If I gently tap them to make em move they almost touch the damaged area's I think that it has been my fans all along I am certainly hoping so with such an easy fix. I didn't know how fragile leaves could be but then again even metal wears with constant friction.

Good eye... that would be a relief!

 

[whitebb2727]

I've never even seen one til a few years ago..now they are all over..they are great at getting in the house before winter.. I've probably tossed 40 out this winter, I didn't even know they eat plants til I seen some damage a couple weeks ago.

This year is the first year I've had problems with them. I find them in my house plants and on the wall every so often.

Hopefully I will update if any more spots show up and also if I find any stinkbugs still a possibility.

 

[Diabolical666]

I find em in the house sometimes but never even close to the area my plants are in but Im still keepin a eye out

 

[Diabolical666]

Im curious the damage they do to plants... do they munch like hoppers? do they suck juice from leaves? tare a plant?

lol I also never knew they ate plants. I'll still toss em outside when I find em but maybe a bit further from the house from now on lol.

That's what I used to think. They are smarter and stealthier than ya think.

 

[Diabolical666]

this one was the one someone was talking about me thinks
copy/paste:As a pest, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug will attack apples, cherries, raspberries, peaches, figs, mulberries, citrus fruits and persimmons. Feeding on fruit trees causes "cat facing" which will damage the fruit. They have also been found on ornamental plants, weeds, soybeans and green beans. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug will over winter in homes entering through small openings in windows and door frames, under roof shingles, in crawl spaces and attics.
The bugs will hibernate until winter passes and sometimes the warmth of the building they live in will cause them to become active. They will fly clumsily around light fixtures and leave a scent on anything they land on. Their odor is the reason they return year after year to the same place to hibernate. This odor is a beacon for other stinkbugs that that particular location is a good hibernation nest.

Small hole, smaller than grasshopper but the like to chew tips off new growth too.

Ya me too the size of em. Damage could be similar to a caterpillar? I've had problems with earwigs before they can much small plants pretty good but there easy to spot and get rid of.
