Hi folks, i have had to move my tent as we were moving house, my girls took a bit of a battering in transit but after a few days recovery i noticed these small holes on several of my fan leaves, i have 4 strains in the tent, thc bomb,cherry bomb,super lemon haze and blue mystic, as well as several black cherry tomato and a few chilli pepper plants which have since been moved out of the tent, i am using Canna terra professional soil mix, bio rhizotonic and bio vega. similar spots have appeared on the tomatos and chilli plants also, i have been unable to locate any bugs as of yet looking with a 100x magnifying glass, anyway on to the pics, any input anyone on here may have would be greatly appreciated.thanksP6210598.JPG P6210598.JPG P6210601.JPG P6210600.JPG P6210599.JPG P6210598.JPG P6210598.JPG P6210599.JPG P6210600.JPG P6210601.JPG

Some leaves will naturally grow mutated with holes in them, but idk with those, looks like probably some type of insect or environmental type of thing.

Spray with neem oil & drench soil with neem oil.

This is the only piece of advice I know to offer, which you probably already know. Best of luck either way bro, hope your grow goes well

im fairly sure i can rule out environmental factors,with the exception of maybe a low relative humidity, i have plenty ventilation & fans blowing beneath and above the canopy and use airpots which keep the soil from accumulating moisture,the highest temps i have had are around 30 centigrade,lowest around 25. i have read that canna soil mixes are prone to fungus gnat infestations but due to the fact they require damp rotten conditions im pretty certain its not a gnat problem.

Gnats won't do damage like that. I initally thought insects just by reading the title of the post, but after looking at the pics I'm not totally sure.

As long as growth is steady and it's not spreading rapidly, just keep an eye on them. I would scope them at least a few times a week.

Cool, thanks, the plants are very healthy and vigorous, i'll see how things unfold over the next few days/weeks, if it doesn't worsen i will breath a sigh of relief.If it does and/or i find the cause of the problem i'll fire up some more info/pics.
