Hi. I have strange problem on the leaves. Here are some pictures:

What is the reason for this problem? Is it possible for the chlorine in the water to do this? The tab water here is white for the first minutes, because of the clorine in it. They put too much chlorine and I wait only 5 mins before watering.

Thanks.

I'd say you have some kind of pest. Can't say exactly what type though, because I've been lucky, in that I've only had to deal with fungus gnats, during my time growing. Someone will recognize it though. Possibly leaf miners?

chlorine wont destroy a plant like that. it will just stunt the growth of the plant.. that looks like a plan bomb by bugs for your plants... at night spray the leaves with water and a little bit of dawn soap, then have a fan blowing at them.

Yes, I have checked many times. There are no visible signs of bugs. Except for few little flying creatures that are too small to do damage like this for such a short period (5-6 days)...in my opinion. And by the way the second photo is taken under the leave. As you can see there are no bugs visible...

yeah no doubt bugs!

what you do.. is at night get a spray bottle with a little bit of dawn dish soap. and some water. spray the crap out of the leaves for a couple of days and see how thigns go.

it could be a dog bite or animal bite who knows.. it just look'd like someone just bite the shit out of it.

100% bugs. Those leaves are being eaten away by a bad case of bugs.

If I remember correctly, I recently read that there's some kind of pest that lives within the flesh of the leaves, and aren't visible. I could've sworn it was leaf miners that was mentioned, but can't say for sure. It's worth looking in to though, if I were you. :)
