Damned
I found some tiny black dots on the lower leafs of the affected plants
Well... besides a leaf eating bacteria my favorite... any word from the OP?
Well if you insist that it can not be a cat...
Look for caterpillars or grasshoppers. Those are about the only pests that consume the leaf that I can think of.
The white spots are old whitefly damage. Whiteflies suck the life out kinda like mites do, but will leave a sticky substance (called honeydew) behind. However whiteflies don't eat they leaves. The white spots don't show up immediately either, so since you already know that they were there I'd say they have nothing to do with the torn leaves and holes.
Slugs or snails will eat the plant like that also but they leave behind a slime trail and little black piles of excrement behind.
As far as bugs those are about all I can think of. So if you don't have a dog, cat, or small critter then I'd say that somebody else has been visiting the tent with one. Even the pattern of the damage is consistent with what a cat would do.
well I have to say this thread is easily mutating into the clusterfuk
like my Mosaic Virus sticky....
So MIWay
I'll help you ,,,I'm actually going to do your research for you...
Isn't that nice of me?
When you say there is no leaf eating bacteria in your snide but yet ignorant reply...
Maybe you need to understand what is taking place when the tissue is being dissolved,,,or eaten as you say..
This at a cellular level from within once a fungi,bacteria or virus has taken hold..
These are instances of attack on healthy plant tissue already
fully grown and formed....NOT a mutation...
There are so many here that want to chime in with comments
and theories based on absolutely off the wall principals....
I guess my theoryActually bro... glad you mentioned TMV... cuz that's exactly how I thought of your post... a definitive statement of this is what the OP has... yet you yourself, now, are stating this is but just one theory of which there is no study, no documentation... no evidence.
So, yeah... I put your first posts in the laughable column along with TMV... the past boogaboo of all the growing woes.
Here comes the newest... flesh eating bacteria mutated to eat our marijuana plants. All those tears, rips & bugs... guess what, not it, flesh eating bacteria yo!
It seems, to me, a rather far reaching explanation for what would otherwise be some simple explanations.
Haven't you ever ripped plant tissue to only discover it the next day? Ooops... or was it a bacteria...???
Did you ever have micro issues... pH or otherwise caused... to have deformed new growth on otherwise healthy looking plants??? Ooops... it was actually a bacteria!
Did you ever have bugs, not to ever notice them, until the damage comes about???
No, surely not... it is the plant eating bacteria that you've been quietly & secretly studying the past two years.
And here you are to definitively say... this is what the OP has... and nothing else... you are all fools.
Okay bro
