Hello,

FIRST TIME GROWER:

I've noticed some weird looking leaves on a few of my plants. My theory is overwatering since it's been raining like crazy here, but I just want to make sure it's nothing else if anyone's seen it before.

Also, does anyone know a good way to deal with bugs, getting rid of them, and keeping them away? As you can see in the pictures there are some chewed up leaves but I checked underneath them and there was nothing there. It's a few leaves per plant but I want to nip it in the bud... before they get to my bud.

Thanks

It's either been dry and hot or downpouring here.

I've checked under a lot of the leaves and haven't seen any bugs.

Looks like some root issues. Try to keep the pot cool. Wrap something around it if you have to. Kind of at the merci of mother nature. On hot sunny dry days maybe put it in a slightly shady spot for the peak hours until she recovers a bit.

Could be bugs. But you can definitely see the heat/humidity stress.

Grasshoppers or caterpillars are likely taking the bites; I'm not sure about the spots, tell us more about your soil and what you're feeding?

I'm using Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix. It's been doing really well.

Haven't been feeding it anything additional.

I can see heat stress , some of the holes could be from insect or wind n rain damage . What’s the NPK of your soil mix some of the rusty looking areas could be calcium problem . Od .

Alot of folks come on this forum using Miracle Gro products and that stuff is not really ideal for cannabis. Next time try and find a soil specific for cannabis. Fox Farms, Vitality or something like that.
