wow definatly looks like it?
are you growing in soil?

check underneath leaves closely for lil fuckers

 

[Antigen]

Yes, it looks like an insect ate part of that leaf. The pellet you found could be a dropping from something like a caterpillar but I really have no idea without seeing it. Is this an outdoor plant or do you ever take it outdoors?

 

[jawbrodt]

^Agreed. Hopefully, it'll be something easy to find and eliminate, like an inchworm.

how resistant is the strain your dealing with?

 

[svchop889]

nope that part of the leaf just evaporated. could be because of your magnesium deficiency

we put this mantis guy in there but i heard there only eat bugs aka not veg eater. let me know

 

[lavender2010]

and its a lavender strand

well Its pretty obvious something is eating your leaves. and the yellowing in between veins with veins remaining green is usually mag If it gets worse and you start getting hard crispy yellow edges that would just verify. But yeah the mantis could do it I also hear lady bugs love to eat spider mites and aphids, but maybe mantis like to eat lady bugs.
I was just being a sarcastic ass. but I hope you get it taken care of bud. Bugs def suck man.

Anyway peace.

Oh by the way that's a stick bug not a preying mantis

While you're on a mission to find that bug take a minute and clean that keyboard. Sheesh!!!!

Find a few lady bug's. they will eat most insect's and they love insect egg's. i had an infestation of thrip's. I added lady bug's. AKA my troop of warrior's. they wiped out the thrip's leaving none alive.... hu ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

If that is a stickbug and not a preying mantis I would remove it as stickbugs eat plants I think. Maybe it is just your pictures but I don't see the huge front legs that a preying mantis should have.

Mate i dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but that is not a mantis, Its a stick insect and they eat plants. They also are born ready to lay egg's and will lay up to 10-20 a day. Baby's will crack the egg's after 3 day's and will feed straight away on foliage....

Get it out NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
