Holes in leaves! No idea what’s that

[Bonsai777]

Hi gang, plants seems perfectly fine, only this weird thing that causes opening holes on leaves. Any ideas what that is and how to fight it? Looks like snail would’ve been there and eaten them. But it’s indoors and there’s no snails. Any info appreciated, thanks in advance for your time

Could be any chewing insect. Just a one off on one leave? Spinosad , insecticidal soap etc

There’s more on other bushes. But they look the same. And haven’t noticed any life form anywhere. Could this be any type of disease?

Doubtful if its first seen as a hole, imo it would go grey and necrotic first. One or two flying chewing insects like idk as example japanese beetle could do that in no time

If those were mine id hit them with spinosad if vegging

Unfortunately flowering already :/

The damage could help with ID as some eat from the edge while others skeletonize like that

Maybe citric acid. But im not sure if thats just contact or if its a residual. Others seem to use it alot but i haven’t really used it

Use D.E. and a feather duster and dust your leafs one time. Whatever it is will stay the fuck away from the D.E. and it's safe 100%

Cuts up bugs, gets into joints, they they to lick it off, and then it dries them out. It's safe for us because it's so fine micron and lethal to them for the same reason (like crawling thru razors). Farmers add to cattel feed to keep bugs out. I dust my window ledges if I see ants, ect. Trying to get this all in one post, lol

Second thought, go in in the morning with a q tip and a bottle of essential oils, like lemon or orange or something and rub a bead around the rims of your pots. Do it again before lights go out. Bugs hate that shit 2, but that's more preventative...

Take a peek with a scope or some type of jewlers loupe. You might be able to see the little critters.

 

[bam0813]

The pest that did that wont need a loupe to see imo

As always, you are entitled to your opinion. I use a loupe because you never know if it's just one critter or several little tiny ones chewing away.

I found an inch worm in my grow several years ago, looked just like that. Inspect every inch of every plant.
He was hangin out on the bottom side of a fan leaf. 3"-inch worm. Totally green and hard to spot.
