What could be eating my plants

[Merkah2020]

Indoor grow I've checked both sides of the leaves and with a scope I can't find anything but more holes appearing daily anyone got any ideas and how do I kill it

Don't look like spidermites, usually have a load of white marks

Yea there's no webs anywhere there's no signs of anything on any leaves apart from the wholes that's what's frazzling my brain it's a sealed tent with intake fan with a sock over the intake so I have no clue how whatever it is would have got in either

There not old splash marks?

Looking at the holes it's gonna be a big bug, just had a look at some beetles same kind of holes

I had the exact same problem with bugs that we still call the whatevers, another THC Talk member suggested I put some sacrificial plants with my canna so the whatevers would have something else to eat, it worked well for the bugs. I totally understand your frustration with not being able to find the culprit. I also used some peppermint oil and water mixed together as a spray it also will deter insects from snacking on your plants.

I wish I had some room in the tent to.fit some more plants I will get some peppermint oil and give that a try I've got neem oil ordered coming tomorrow so I'll give them a spray of both hopefully whatever it is won't like atleast 1 of them

At this stage I'd monitor the situation rather than worry about it...

Most likely a caterpillar of some sort...First guess would be moth...Dont think its too keen on canna though, it didn't finish its dinner

I second the sacrificial plant idea. Look up Nasturtium.

French Marigolds is another option, but this one is for repelling bugs. Garlic too. Garlic would put your carbon filter to the test, as if canna is not stinky enough already LOL!


Personally I would not drench the canna with neem, or any oils for that matter, may be a dab of it here and there on the leaves, well away from the buds, but that is just me.
