Its kinda weird, two new leaves on one plant are missing good size pieces on their edges. When they were starting to open they were in tact but as theyve grown im noticing the missing pieces growing larger. WTF??

Yep, if pieces are missing, somthing is eating your leaves. Check them over very close - make sure you look at the underside of the leaves, as well - caterpillars like to hide there.

if your growing indoors look for flies around your soil area or on your leaves. if you see 1 there are more. I tried some white fly traps and that took care of my problems. caught probably 20 + over a week then no more chunks of leaves missing

Also if there is any dead vegetation in the pot get rid of it - bugs really love dead shit to hide in.

Thanks guys and gal. Ill have to check again, I did look for bugs when it first appeared but didn't find any. Is my tomato plant spray enough to get rid of whatever this certain bug is? And no theres no dead veg lying around.
