They use flying as a last resort..they prefer to walk slowly n sneakily..check your pots on outside n inside, corners of tent, ceilings.. They usually won't move until they get wet.

Halyomorpha halys, also known as the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), or simply the stink bug, is an insect in the family Pentatomidae that is native to China, Japan and Taiwan.[2] It was accidentally introduced into the United States, with the first specimen being collected in September 1998.[3] The brown marmorated stink bug is considered to be an agricultural pest,[4] and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in U.S. orchards.[5]

What a surprise where it came from eh lol. Another reason to buy domestic. lol

Here in the Midwest, ash trees are done.. Every ash tree is dead or infested with the emerald Ash borer.. Its sad and another awful outcome of buying Chinese garbage by the barge full. Just like zebra mussels wiping out the great lakes fishery.

Normally its insects of some kind or wind damage , or possible foilar feeding ?? or RH issues causing water to to stay on leafs surface then with lights on it like a magnifying glass burning a hole in leafs

RH is low, I haven't foliar fed, no bugs. At least I'm hoping and I'm having a hard time finding bugs if there are there. Narrowed it down to "wind" or the fan anyway, already relocated it and turned it down a notch also made room between plants so they aren't bumping each other. Will give it a few days I removed a few spots that were there so I can monitor more closely to see if any new areas pop up. :) Hoping I am in the clear now.

wow im havig the same exact issue! and there are no bugs, im sure. ive found that when I move some of the leaves around that are lying on top of another that there is moisture between them..don't know if that could cause that or not! im definitely over crowded on this run with 9 plants in a 5x5 in 7 gallon smart pots, and have already moved 4 to a buddys! and like you said its real random and sparse. im gonna reposition my fans as well and raise the light a bit to see if it helps!
