They will sell you anything. No way is that spider damage, and if you had similar, then you didn't either.

I've now got drip trays under my pots to keep crocodiles away. Since having them, I've not seen a crocodile.

Iv got some Killermite, I cant see nothing on any of my plants so I'm just gonna treat with killermite. Hopefully it will solve my issue

Good afternoon everyone . I can't tell you what it is but I can definitely say it's no fucking spider mite that . Spider mite suck the goodness out of your leaves and eventually leave tiny thin webs about especially on your bud . Has whatever eaten the leaf eaten it all ( the bit that's missing) or have you found it . I wouldn't spray the plants until you have found the culprit . Like aspie said caterpillars ?

I'd go for caterpillars too looking at the way the leafs have been munched.

Guys, I have been through all my plants literally leaf by leaf and checked stems, I can see nothing. The plant that was affected has been destroyed as i have no room for it now Iv got my Wilma set up. It was the runt so no bother. Anyway whatever it is that's been chomping down shall be completely eliminated ( mwah ha ha haaaaa ) so my plan of action is to Hit the rest of my plants tonight with a dose of killermite ( hopefully this should kill if not at least slow whatever it is ) then next week begin a 2 week course of neem oil spray every 3 days, then ill probably do another hit of the killermite at the end for good measure

Neem oil would probably do it no matter, it is a deterrent for all sort of pest, but it's definitely not mites. Mite damage looks like tiny yellow freckles all over the top of the leaves with tiny black specs on the bottom of the leaves and the fine webbing on the leaves branches and buds.

I doubt it, but it could even be Vine weevil. If you can, check the roots of the plant. If you find any c-shaped bugs, then you do have them.

Like I said, it is doubtful as the eaten parts are not like the average Vine weevil bite.

Dunno British green, saw a few leaves like the one in my pics this morning so think iv got whatever it is early. Also those leaves were at the top of the plant, airborne pest maybe? I cant check my root system bud, coming back to the possibility of an airborne pest, iv got fly strips up in my tent.
