    Caterpillars indoors?

    noticing some chunks missing out of some leaves. Best I could get from the pest page is caterpillar damage but I see no other signs and indoors seemed unlikely. Any thoughts. These are pics from a few different plants.

      Huh the chunks out of the leaves are normal you think? I just don’t recall seeing that on previous grow.

    Been seeing this on my ladies just a few holes here and there. There are no other signs of pests searched my soil my tent and every inch of plant matter to only discover it may not be a pest at all. The pest page pointed me towards caterpillar or inch worms but I haven't seen any in every inspection I do. Maybe a nute deficiency pH swing or some kind of stress. I hope you don't have pests but my leaf damage is on all 4 girls and I don't think it's pests. No one can really tell me what's going on with them wether it be an unseen pest or some toxicity or deficiency. The rest of the plants look healthy and it's only here and there. Thinking if it was a pest half of my plants would be eaten by now since I brought this up almost 2 weeks ago.

      Yea thayltvlooks pretty similar. I got a little nute burn from the FFOF still being a bit hot when I started nutes maybe that’s part of it. I guess if it doesn’t get worse right.

    Don't think it's anything too concerning week one into transition some new growth still being effected. But the canopy looks great. Not sure if I've given it a really good flush. If things persist I may stop nutes for a couple good waterings see if new growth still has leaf damage. Using the same soil myself and using nutes after transplants so could be too hot using fresh soil.

      I’m doing some transplanting today. Watering to run off going to go plain ph’d water for the next few waterings. Not sure I’ll be using the ocean forest in the future.

    I have same damage, only here and there, on each of my plants. I use FFOF also...could this be the common denominator? I assumed i was a little ruff with all of them at somepoint. Whether it was transplant, LST, moving etc. I saw an earlier post tonight on the same looking damage and FF was constantly brought up? I don't know what to think now. I rarely believe in coincidence, but this is far too many!

      I bought a bag of happy frog and did 40/40/20 OF/HF/perlite and actually using my tds meter watering plain water to run off. I haven’t seen any issues since I stopped all nutes other than the silica which I just gave today. I think you basically just have to let your plant use up what’s there, seems like there’s plenty as your plant fills up your pot makes veg nutes seem pointless damn near as i just transplanted to 5 gallon. I’m pretty sure I’m ditching dirt for coco after this.

      Yes I'm also going to stop using ff for a transplant it's okay but think it's just nute overload for small plants and may cause problems in transition.
