Hi, first time grower, absolute newb, I have 5 plants in an outdoor poly house and they seem to be doing well.
TL;DR:
If the plants in general are thriving, but have lots of bug bites on 10% of leaves, do I need to take action or just keep a close eye for eggs and bugs making a home?
For the last 5 weeks 2 plants have yellow spots that develop into holes. At first I thought it was septoria (that took out my tomatoes last year). They look like something sucked them (yellow spot) and then over time the hole appears. I am guessing bugs but I am pretty sure nothing is laying eggs or infesting.
They are basically outside as windows are open every day. I get flies and ants wandering in but nothing obvious like aphids that are in other parts of the garden (honeysuckle and roses).
I have looked with magnifying glass all over and don't see any mites. Spiders have set up home and hopefully will bring balance.
Seems wrong to hang up fly paper outdoors. Immoral or at least entrapment
Amnesia Lemon Kush (60% Sativa and 40% Indica)
17 Gallon pot
Soil & garden compost
Minimal training, 4 topped, 1 natural / late topped
Germinated mid-Feb, repotted a few times
Wet and cold UK early summer, but in ploy tunnel to control water & get some heat. May was cold but June is nice, very long days at 54 degrees north (same as Quebec without the sun!)
