Leaves tearing?

[Carbonfylter]

Any help would be appreciated, i have 2 autos growing currently and some of my leaves have been presenting with the following issue, looks like tears with yellow around the ripped areas on both of them, its only on a couple of leaves, idk if I just accidentally ripped when doing some LST or if this is some sort of bugs or what, please help! Thanks

Stop feeding the earwigs.

It looks like a macro insect is nomnoming on your plant.

Diatomaceous Earth around the base will fix it.

Dang I was hoping that wasn't the case. Thanks for the help, the DTE won't harm plants when watered will it? Given that it will be absorbed into the soil? Im new just trying to learn

I had a similar issue
Folks said I had bugs but never found a single one
It happened shortly after I topped & lst’d
After a week or so, it stopped appearing on the newer growth.
I chalked it up to stress

I havent seen any bugs either, but they can be sneaky for sure - I'll throw some DTE down like kalebaiden suggested just to be safe, either way no harm in trying it

Same, topped my ladies and the leaves start ripping a little. Have a fan at the top of the tent pointing at it too so gonna have to redirect that thing as well.

Same here, right after topping, only affected new growth/top leaves... then it stopped.
