CoolJ Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What's up fam! Im having some issues with these unknown bite marks on my leaves. I checked all my plants and cleaned out my tent and can't find any worms(which I suspect) or any big bugs that can do that type of damage. I haven't noticed any droppings on leaves either. I've tried Pyrol and Eco Buzz Larvae Pro but hasn't seem to help much as I noticed more damage. Does anyone have any ideas or possibilities to what it can be or how to treat? Thanks!

The_StonedTrooper Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) That looks to me, like root damage growth. I'd say 100% no pest, if there is one, it's in the soil. Added, do you see more damage to the same spot each day, or notice more spots each day, in different areas?

It would say it's different spots each day. I started removing the damage leaves to notice if they spread and it did. The ones I left didn't get bigger "bites" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Are they bites? I dont see bites or well enough to see and be sure, but I have had the same thing happen to me and it was air at the root zone or an issue at the roots, ph, nutes, bug in the soil, or similar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they are or not? I am growing in Coco and Perlite (CannaPro) and using Mega Solutions with Silicon and Amino boost. Ph is always between 5.6-6.0 Edited June 24, 2021 by CoolJ Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you identify air at the root zone and what did you do to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I found when potting up, it would happen and to the plants or bags I didnt take care to fill properly and tight, as you then water, the medium sinks and leaves air pockets. Sometimes in coco, it can happen when the coco isn't fully broken down, rehydrated or a chunk in there causing it hard for nutrients or water to enter or even holding far to much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 @The_StonedTrooper Interesting and did not actually know that. However I have noticed with both coco and soil, when potting up one does need to compact the sides a bit otherwise it does sink a bit after watering and can lead to water channels and the medium does not get fully saturated then. @CoolJ Is this happening to all your plants? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to what I was saying, just reverse in a sense and leaves air pockets or uneven watering. Like having air pockets, or even similar to like having root damage, from or similar to air pruning but non intentionally, by having air in the mix or uneven watering and dry spots. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
