hey man, the pics I the second post almost looks like thrips but when I zoom in its quite hard to clarify that. either way its obviously some kind of insect. so id go with some side of insecticide whether you go for a more organic or chemical approach.
it if was caterpillars, you would most likely find some on the plants somewhere.
have you had a moth maybe in the room? looks like Moth larvae, or caterpillars damage..i had exact issue
edit:just seen your second post..yes moth larvae can cause that..
i sprayed with spinosad..done deal
Spinosad is the best and safest way to kill caterpillars.I found caterpillars. Is monterey caterpillar and spinosad really the best way to rid of them. Or is the any better product
It's possibly one of the Leaf Skeletonizers. https://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/r302301011.html
Spinosad would be the control for them also.

It may already be to late but you may be wise in setting up some moth traps OUTSIDE your greenhouse. If you've got ANY light sources in the greenhouse at night, they will attract moths. A UV bug zapper might do you some good as well. Maybe try a bug zapper with moth hormones just to be sure.
Also, if it is too late, you can be ready for next season.
The link isn't working for me.
Is this a paid access site?
Spinosad will control the caterpillars. Yes, some caterpillars will burrow underground to pupate.Well I havr 12 plants in the GH. And 4 of them have about 60% damage 2 of them are around 20 percent. The other 6 are virtually untouched. Any recommendations. Also do caterpillars dig into dirt like worms??
Caterpillars. Classical damage of a small insect eating away at the leaves.The strain is true OG. In a green house. I'm using foxfarm happy frog reused from last season because I didn't have money for new soil. All I gave the soil last year general organics bloom nothing else. Someone please try and help.

I've had thrips more times than I can care to remember. And the Damage they did never looked like that. I am not doubting u. Ill get some spinisad that has always worked for me. But way do u say about the bite marks on the leaves. I've never seen thrips put holes in leaves like that. Can thrips eat holes like that because from my research the eat the chlorofil the green from the leaf 1 week ago these plants were beautiful be sign of anything except good growth.. Any other idea from u or anyone else would be appreciated.
