Came to check on my plants and this is what I seen. Leaves don't look right.

possibly thrips i would say. i deal with them with pure spinosad diluted tho it's not as easily available everywhere across the world.

Spinosad - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

main downside being that outdoor it's toxic for bee and aquatic life (pond etc) it's considered rather safe for human, tho no real study about residue combustion toxicity, but either no record of some issue and it's been used in the tobacco industry.

in the us you might be able to get it through e-bay in it's pure form, wait for more people to chime in there's some easier products, as efficient and safe for health, to get in the US than spinosad i think

Scope the underside of every leaf, also might be a good idea to check the soil. That what I would so, depends on the humidity level as well. Could just be degradation of lower cells. Hope you find out an get it in check!!

If you don't see anything in moving under the leaves, or in the soil. I would definitely get a dehumidifier

Not good, I think it looks like a fungus, but check underneath the leaves and the soil before you quote me on that please!

Just look for something crawling

thrips are really small to see with the naked eyes when not used to:

Thank you so much, I'll look now

your plant could look like early infestation stage so there's might be not much of them yet unlike the photo i shared late infestion stage.

If the infestation is still early, an insecticidal soap spray down MIGHT take care of the issue.

You indoor folks might be able to only spot treat when a problem pops up. Outdoors you better have a pest management strategy out the gate or you're going to be sorry. Almost every time it's what you didn't see until it was too late. Folks will avoid putting them outside because of bugs but srsly it's great so long as you have a plan.

When I had an outdoor grow in 2010, I bought a few thousand during the season.

One time I had spider mites in my indoor back in the 90s, so I put $500 ladybugs inside each of my rooms. Bro ladybugs love to travel around the house hahahahaha!

I have a screenhouse for my plants and I bought a container of overpriced ladybugs from our local DIY the beginning of May. 2/3 of them were dead. I released them at night per instructions. By morning they had all left the screenhouse. I get better luck with mantids and crab spiders. At least they like to stick around.

That they do travel, I had an old farmstead chicken coop over grown with whatever floats in the air, so I yanked every one of them out by the root. Just so happens I just had a cross pollination from one freaking plant indoors, an had 1lbs of Strawberry Cough, an 1lbs of Lemon skunk. Sooo many seeds, I turned everything into bubble, dump everything into chicken coop an sped it out. Maaannnn tha strawberry lemonade tasted really good come November.
