A loupe is a great investment, regardless, but I think that looks like mechanical damage. You did say you were being rough with them. Is it just a leaf or two? Is it showing up in the new growth?

[jonhova]

Nothing on the new growth, just that sole leaf or 2.

If it's only a couple of leaves, I wouldn't worry too much. Certainly, keep an eye on them, but I wouldn't lose sleep.

If you're worried about pests, you can always start doing preventative spraying, rotating things like neem, spinosad, insecticidal soap, etc.

I am deathly afraid of spraying anything especially neem oil. I lost 3 plants in flower immediately after spraying neem.

Neem shouldn't harm plants.

Neem meal or neem cakes are an excellent addition to any soil mix.
Your plants look happy to my untrained eye.

Fair enough. I've never seen it happen, but my experience is limited. fwiw, spinosad is a product of bacteria that in my experience has never caused damage to cannabis or any other ornamental or edible plant I've seen it used on, so that might be a safer option if your nervous about neem.

That being said, I think the plants look great, so there's no need to spray anything if you don't want to.
(your dieffenbachia might like a bit less light though )

Keep it up! I can't wait to see them in flower!

i appreciate the advice guys yea ive heard of ipm when i was looking and failing at going organic when i visited another forum a bit more where they are big on neem cake and neem oil. I have both. Cheap amazon oil that probably sucks but the ahimsa one is REALLY expensive. :/

Maybe my ventilation situation was insufficient or latent aerial fungal load was too high in my last apartment. But i had 3 flowering plants get white powdery mildew and die right after spraying them they drooped and never recovered. I sprayed before lights out thats what the organic gods said was best at least.

Lets just hope im ok and ill deal with any problems as they come!

Here’s a pic of the beautiful pisitils going nuts.
