What the F*** is happening?!?! HELP!!

I think you've got thrips.

You seem to be in veg, so there are large numbers of options. An insecticide with pyrethrins will do it. Hit them with it, then repeat in 3 days. Neem will probably do it. I've also had excellent results with a mite treatment, Nuke 'Em, which is just a citric acid solution.

You're outdoors, so I wouldn't be surprised if other creepy-crawlies were afoot.

I’m using safers 3-1 right now, any idea if that’s good?
Thanks for the response!
Will thrips cause that severe of damage like that though?

Here’s some more pics of the plant for reference.
Appreciate the help guys/gals

Those look really nice.

Treat with Lost coast Plant Therapy. It's safe for food crops up to harvest.
Be sure and rinse afterward so you don't seal the plants pores with the meds.

Most bugs are burnt by citric acid. The stuff that makes your OJ tangy kills bugs if it's concentrated enough.
Add to that a bit of soap and you have a nice bug killer. The soap blocks their breathing holes. If they can't breathe, they die.

Those random dead spots are from thrips. If you have a heavy infestation, they can do some damage.

Safers will probably do it. I've never used it, myself.

Wtf! If he had thrips, thats if, spinosad would be almost perfect here. If you are 14 to 21 days before floweeing then its ok to still use it...im sure of it!

Lol, thrips, i dont see thrips anywhere. Maybe!

Thrips are white patches and trails like leaf miners but no wheres near as distinctive. Google it. That could be fungal but im not sure. Thrips bites will always stay white in my exp...ive had alot with these!
I think its an enzyme or something in there saliva...this isnt thrips! Lmfao!

i would love to find out the cause, but don't panic those plants are powering through it.

Never use pesticides on something your going to inhale, use de earth, does not look like thrips but still, let topsoil dry completely bc de is a fine powder, sprinkle around plant, wad up a bunch of tp and dust the fans, leave 72 hours give a light flush check ph and prune off infected leaves, this will kill any pest with an exoskeleton organicley and cheaply as you can get a bag of de earth at any hardware store for like $6 bucks, i cured a case of thrips useing de earth and spraying the plant with water and a drop of dawn this makes the leaves un palatable to thrips but something is chewing so de earth there grimy asses.

Keep in mind DE is useless once it gets wet, so you'll need to do multiple applications for particularly aggressive pest infestations.
