They seem to be doing ok except some strange stuff on leaves.
The soil is lite mix, used for sprouting seeds, so nothing bad. Any idea what it is?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all, this year I am growing 3 Durban poison and 1 Arjans haze.

It looks like some pesky bug is munching on your plant.
Search and destroy.

Thanks a lot for replying. Yes it definitely looks like them.
I looked with my microscope Carson and there is nothing moving or living visible. It’s a 60x scope and I can see like trichomes type pistils.
Are they visible under some circumstances?
I leave them outside for daytime and bring them in at night.
I checked on those leaf miners on google. I don’t see anything living or moving, I cut off all the infected leaves and sprayed with neem oil.
PS I started seeds inside but grow outside.

If you’re putting them outside everyday bugs are gonna be an issue, neemed or not. Though I like neem for ipm it’s almost worthless outside as things are laying eggs and hatching daily so you’d have to neem then daily to keep everything away…
But you did good removing the leaves … just something to keep an eye on

You guys ever see them on the leaves with microscope? They looked big enough on google…
It’s leaf miners. Spinosad kills them. Also, just pull off the leaf. You probably can’t see them in a microscope as they get inside the leaf.
