I was curious if nute burn can cause holes to start forming. I was thinking maybe insects, but the rim of any of the holes (theres a few leaves with it) are yellowish, as if its being burnt not eaten. The holes aren't very significant in size if that helps either. Prob about the size of this letter "o" on the screen at most. Id love to get a picture but I need batteries for the time being. Any input??

Anyone? I m not sure there is even a need for pictures here, I m just looking for an answer on whether or not nute burn can cause a hole to form. I can't seem to recognize any holes in any of the plants on the Plant Problems pages. Any help would be mint.

Spider mites? You spraying the plant with water while it's receiving light?

Sometimes I spray it with tap water through a small mist sprayer but not everyday so I'm assuming it isn't being burnt or anything like that from the water/light magnifying it, if thats what you were getting at..

Also I checked the leaves that have it for signs of mites but saw no eggs or mites. I just look through binoculars the opposite way and get very close to the leaves and it magnifies it enough to see little tiny specs, but I wasn't seeing anything. I even cut the tip off the leaf in the picture to examine it even closer away from the grow room...still saw nothing...

I've just read people talk about how the water droplets on the leaves act as a magnifying glass and can potentially burn your plant.

SO did anyone get to the bottom of this problem? I HAD a perfect harvest this year and need ONE- 2 more weeks. But My plants look like ACID has been splashed on them and I am Freaking the Hell out! I have cut EVERY Plant down SOON. I am going to have a terrible harvest and I may just quit after this. I know the thread is 3 years old- but- its the ONLY thread I found on google!
Sorry- no pics as my ex STOLE my cameras before she left. I say ACID cause it looks like a liquid dripped THROUGH leaves underneath it and ate holes. My plants look like a BIG Splash!
The leaves are turning so yellow I can see them in dark. SOB- Anyone find out what the problem is? YES- I read the entire thread and I have teh same answers TrailandError man did. Just take his photo and add 30-40 more holes in each leaf. No Bugs,no nothing is on them. Help?!

That is an insect hole in the leaf, not to worry. The yellowing around the hole is simple the leaf dying back around the injury.

I FINALLY found out what the culprits were! Granted it looks like someone sprayed battery acid on my Pot Leaves. What I did was- I put put a glue trap in between the two buds.
I found a bunch of bugs that look like fruit flies. (Dark Colored not red or grape) I couldnt find them when they WERE on the plant and they looked "harmless'.
I wrapped my plant's pot in Plastic bag and wrapped it tight around the stem. I put the glue trap near base and nothing for a day or two. Then I went to check my plant out and the Small Flies were there TRYING to hide in the dirt! So problem now solved! Sorta? I have caught 90% of these dirt flies. WHAT ARE THEY PEOPLE? I cant seem to zero them to 0% but saved my Plant though with the glue trap.

I think indoors bends that rule, you can get pockets of low circ that will hold the droplets for an hour sometimes. Nature provides more fresh moving air than many ops...
