The parts that are missing the have little brown pieces attached to them... So nervous and confused.. They are just 3 weeks old.. Looking amazing.. But holes and new growth is cut looking.. Like it was pinched or cut in a straight line.. Need some seriously help everyone

holes = caterpilars

thats what a blind man would assume , pics will give us light
I'm growing indoors.. I would see caterpilars in my veg room... I only have a few plants in there... I just flushed hoping it would correct it

People will give very little answer as to what things are unless you post pictures. Instead of offering what it could be. And even after you say you don't have catapillers they say catapillers. Look I have a similar problem started around the same time. I started getting holes in my leaves and sometimes I could find the tips (still green and fresh) on the floor. I have searched my plant from head to toe with a pocket microscope and there are no bugs. I have access to my roots and there are no bugs / larva.

In short my plant did great and the problem persisted the entire grow. I still have no clue what it was.

caterpillars shit tiny little black turds that you can see, theese look like specks of pepper. take a plain white peice of paper and hold it under the plant then tap or flick the plant main stem with your finger, if a caterpillar is there your paper will be covered with black shit, if so start looking under your leaves for the little fucker. if no (pepper) is found, you have another problem. hope this helps.

...I've seen pH issues cause deformed leaves. I've suspected temp issues causing deformed leaves in a previous grow (too cold) also. What's your stats: fertilizer/medium/temps/ppm/ph?

could have been some kind of bug larva that has matured and gone away. or try this, put the paper around the bace of the plant right before she goes to sleep, surround the bottom of the plant. wait about 5 to 6 hours and check for pillar poop again with a green light, the led kind you can get at hydro or garden store. caterpillars like to feast at night. if you find the little poops on the paper at this point, you have one or more. look for it with the green light. it will be easyer to find while its dark it will be out and about. good luck.

nothing!!!* fuck!! So it looks likee most of the holes are between the veins or the leaves, as if it just are around.. I flushed all my vegging plants because they all have/are getting the same symtoms with no bugs present..no pc still
