Need help, possible pest situation!

I'm about 4 weeks into my veg with 4 plants and have noticed some odd tears/rips/holes in some of the leaves on my healthiest/largest plant (Sour Diesel). Journal here.

I want to move into flowering within the next week - but I'd like to take any measures to clear up any possible pests first. My closet is very low in humidity (20-30%) and around 65F at dark and 75F during light.

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me! Anything I can spray on the leaves to help stop/prevent most pests?

Here's how my grow is looking so far..


All these pictures were taken from my Sour Diesel..

This is a new shoot off the top of the plant, showing some holes already on some new leaves.


Thought I found a spider here, but under 10x magnification, I couldn't tell. I removed this piece of the leaf to use my 60-100x magnifier, but I dropped the leaf and lost whatever was on it.. :mad: This was the only significant thing I found under any of the leaves after spending roughly 45 minutes looking.


Most of my leaves show long tears around the main vein shooting out. This leaf is showing early signs of some of that damage.

Any pest making holes that big you would see. Do you spray often? Might me from water sitting on leaves and getting hit with your lights causing a little local necrosis. SD is very starchy and brittle, could be from any crinkled action when you are in there playing around?
Those plants look great and healthy to meet dude I wouldn't trip to hard on it. I use organocide and azatrol/azamax for preventitive, along with other organic items as an ipm (integrated pest management). Try not to spray the same thing more than once in veg. And once flower, cycling through your options.

Doesn't look like pests to me though, don't trip bro they look lovely in the pics!

great news!

great news!

First off, I love this community! Secondly, I do share a similar feeling of there not being a serious pest problem. I am likely more stressed than the plant mainly because this is my first grow and through my research I haven't found leaves with these kind of tears.

To answer some questions.. I do apply a foliar spray once every 2 weeks. And the last few times I have done that, I spray about 20 minutes before lights go off. The next time I spray, I will be spraying right after lights go off so the solution isn't sitting as long in direct light.

I have also done some damage when fitting the plants into my scrog. In fact, my SD just got accidentally topped again (topped the SD twice so far on purpose) last night when I was moving some branches under the scrog.. I was SOOOO PISSED! But I'm giving it another 5 days or so in veg to help her recover, hoping since I'm still in veg this won't cause too much of an issue.


Fawk!! Hope she recovers..
