    • St patty's day? pinch to grow an inch?

      looks like what happens if I get in and don't pay attention to where my hands are and I pinch the unintended leaf. Coloration looks like the strong end of the nute pool and rockin' it.

      • I don't think it is a big deal.....

        • Thrips or miners ? Look at the under side of the leaves, with a loop, for critters.

          • Looks like it's been munched on by a type of insect, most probably aphids or some larva of some sort.

            I would try to tackle this by spraying a neem oil solution.

            Good luck!

            • Neem oil wont kill the larva

              • Not instantly no but I've had very successful results when using neem oil to drench the top 1 - 2 inches of soil against larva.

                Another method i've used is to use Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water.

              • Did you look at the bottom of the leaves with a loop? Most of the little bastards leave a trail of crap on the bottom side that you wont need a loop to see it
