Is it possible you pinched these leaves when they were small, for example during training? When that happens sometimes the leaves don't really show the damage until they grow out!

It is very possible that I damaged the leaves doing LST. I do remember tearing some leaves back then. I just don't want to assume that and then actually have a problem. I will monitor them closely over the next couple of days. It would be a big relief if there are no bugs. I was reading yesterday that diffusing tea tree oil keeps pests away...any thoughts? I agree Nugs they would have to be pretty big to make those holes. And I did inspect the leaves carefully and didn't see any bugs. I am waiting for my pH buffer solution to come. My meter is all out of whack smh! I also sent Warlock the message this morning. I'm diggin all this knowledge that you guys are sharing...you're awesome!

If you damaged some of the leaves, that seems like a likely suspect! Are the leaves with holes only growing from places you LST'ed? If the rest of the leaves are fine I wouldn't worry too much unless you start seeing it happening to leaves that are already grown out
As far as things to keep pests away, often it's best to wait until you know exactly what pest you have. Some work better for some bugs than others, and sometimes they can annoy your plant so you want to avoid using pesticides if you don't actually need to

So we are in Week 1 of flowering and this is what they look like. I still haven't found any pests or any new damage, but I am keeping an eye out. I fed them this morning with FF trio pHed down to 6.0...pH coming out is 6.6...RH steady at about 30. just about all of the tops are through the screen...maybe 3 that are still trying to reach up. Moving right along...

Moving right along. Week 2 of Flowering and the ladies are looking healthy. They were fed FF trio this morning, pH 6.3. Temp is 79. Still no sign of pests. I think the damage was my fault from training and getting water on the leaves. I am more mindful to get the water and nutes into the soil, not on the plants.

Thanks guys. That's why I'm MR Green lol! Do you mean the large, older fan leaves? I was wondering about that. A lot of the older ones have purple stems. I saw a Youtube vid that said not to remove the fan leaves cuz the ladies need them for energy, but they just seem to block light.
